    VB6 applications run error on Vista

    Hi

    I have developed various applications with VB6, some useful applications that are used on a daily basis at the office to take the burden out of tedious tasks.

    The applications were developed with VB6 with SP6 on Windows XP.

    The new PC at the office comes with Vista and when running the applications error messages pops up.

    The errors consist of:

    Unhandled exception has occured in a componenet in your application
    Exception from HRESULT: 0x800ACA72?

    Cannot Start c:\program files\office\application.exe

    Any help or assistance will be appreciated.

    Thanx in advance

    Ivan

    You may have to provide more details, may even have to troubleshoot the app in IDE while on Vista. But to start with, you might consider looking over this forum's FAQ on Vista & VB compatibility to see if anything jumps out at you.

    Lot's of things jump out there....

    In what location did you install this app?
    There seems to be an issue in the way you coded the app?
    Do you hard code folders in your app?

    etc...

    We need more info about the error too other then "Unhandled exception" thats like saying "error".

    Did you install your app using administrator permissions?

    Also did you create an installation package for this app or just copy the files?
