Hi,
Can anybody give me the rundown on what I need to do toget my user control to install with my application. I have a moving graphic control that uses a slider [MS windows Common Conrols 2(6.0)].It runs just fine when I test-install on my development drive--Win2K Pro on my secondasry IDE..
Well, that's no big trick since VS 6 Enterprise is already installed, and my control was registered locally when I built it. The problem is that when I reboot to my testing drive--NTS4 on my primary IDE-- it finds a data type mismatch. At first, I was getting a message saying that MSCOMCT2.OCX was not properly registered, or that a component was missing. After I included the control in the components for my main project [where it is not used directly, only through my user control], I no longer got the error for that component. It still doesn't start up properly though. I'm wondering what I'm missing in my installer.
Another thing I'm wndering about--and I don't know if this is related--is the ADODC controls. I have had problems with the events for these controls. A week ago, when I tried switching from ADO 2.0 to ADO 2.5, the compiler didn't recognize the signatures for these events, and I had to switch back to get them to work. Now the situation is reversed. The compiler started objecting to ADODC events again, and I had to switch the reference to ADO 2.5 to get the program to compile. Could this be the source of the data type mismatch that NT4 sees?
Any suggestions for how I can get the installer to install dependably would help.
Thanks,
Joseph
