Missing DLL, need help desperately

[hungrydino]

I run magictrickman.com and I just started selling a visual basic program that is basically just a webbrowser that displays magic tricks that I am selling. I know the program works on 90% of computers save macintoshes.

But I just got an email telling me that a MSVBVM60.DLL was missing. I know that this person could just download the DLL. But is there a way for me to make sure that this doesn't happen everytime. Please help.

My program has 12 magic tricks - and at least 3 of them are straight from David Blaine's magic special. There yours if you help me. And if you don't want those, please help anyway. Thanks everyone

sounds like a wicked deal, aye! Betta than Afromans erbal remedy anyways

Make sure dat yous include MSVBVM60.DLL wiv your VB app, it is da runtime for vb and must always be included, aye

Da easiest way is to make da setup using da P&D wiz dat comes wiv VB

if you already destributed this app to some people, you may want to make a patch they can download that will "install" the missing dlls for them. you can have it check their computer for every needed dll, and then download any that are missing from your website.

You could try this product it will incorparate everything your program needs in its own .exe file without a setup program.
The software is called Fusion

Fusion cost around $200

Ok so how exactly do I add the .dll to my program. Do I need to somehow get it to their windows/system directory? Or how do I use the p&d wizard? Thanks again

[Ali G]

aye, use da P&D Wiz, it will do the nesecury fa yous.

[hungrydino]

Ok, I tried the p&d wizard and I got an error:

Unexpected error number 429 has occurred: ActiveX component can't create object

Any ideas as to what to do with that.

[Ali G]

Dat is bad news, aye

I don't recommend da P&D Wizzzzard coz it is mingin'. Instead, try da best free installer at www.innosetup.com

It is wicked

respeck

use the visual studio installer 6.0. it lets u pakage everything into one folder which you can then zip. get it at the www.microsoft.com download center.

VS installer is almost as mingin' as da P&D Wiz, aye
