Do you mean MSVBVM60.DLL?

If so, the problem is that you are not installing your application (or are not doing it properly).

For an explanation of why VB programs need some kind of installation, see the article Why doesn't my program work on another computer? from our Classic VB FAQs (in the FAQ forum, which is shown near the top of our home page)

To create an installation package you need to use a program like P&DW that comes with VB, or one of the many other tools available. There are links to downloads and documentation in our Application Deployment FAQ.


If you are installing it, what program are you using to create the package? what does the installation script contain?

before compiling a standard exe ... in project properties where these two terms [compile to P-code] & [compile to Native-code] differs ... which option is fessible so that all the other computers should not ask for any error .. like {Unable to Locate Components} [the application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found .Reinstalling the application may fix this problem]

please help

neither.... if your app isn't finding components it needs.... then you should be building an install that includes your components and installs them with your app.
