Re: App Installation Blues
I have more information: After I had the app working I included a crystal Report. So CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x86.msi was part of the deployment and I wasn't ever able to get the report to load on the client without the app blowing up. So I removed that .msi and the form that had the report and the report and any and all references to the report. Then I went ahead with recompiling and reattempting the deployment/installation. So that's all. Help! Please.
Re: App Installation Blues
Isn't there a newer redistributable? That looks like 2008
Re: App Installation Blues
There maybe a new one but that's the one on my machine. I don't know how it got there for sure. I guess it came with the Visual Studio installation. I now realize i didn't attempt the installation on the 64 bit machines with the x64 cr msi. But at this point I'm stuck with the error i mentioned earlier and need to get past that one before I continue with the CR stuff.
Re: App Installation Blues
Haven't used CR before, so I can't help. I know it came with VB6, though, but never even installed it
Re: App Installation Blues
Actually I think they removed CR from VB as of version 6 though it was there in VB5
Re: App Installation Blues
That's cool dg. My interpretation of the situation is that the app behaves like if AccessDatabaseEngine.exe isn't on the machine or the communication with the exe has been severed. One of my custom messagebox's is being displayed in try catch block that doesn't give much useful info. I'll add something else to the block to see if that helps. I think there may be more useful info that I can added to ex.? anyone have a pet routine that helps nail down these kinds of problems?

Pretty sure it's on the VB6 CD, as an optional install
