distribution problem

[Rob]

I have an AVI file and MS Active Movie Controll on a form in my app. The AVI plays running the app in VB. Once I compile and distribute the app to other machines, the AVI does no play. I used VB setup wizard to distribute the app. Can anyone help with this?

Is the avi where it should be?

Did the install program even include it?

Do the other machines have the same version of active movie? I dunno if it matters, but it might...

You might want to make sure that the setup wizard included the movie control and registered it on the other machines.

dude,


it could be a lot of stuff wrong. make sure the activemovie OCX deal is in your setup and it's registered. make sure you are accessing the right directory for the AVI. make sure the VB runtime files are put on the machine. make sure that they have activemovie. if you send me a list of all the files you are transfering to their machine i will tell you what you are doing wrong. it's obviously working on your machine and not theirs so it's some DLL or other file is missing.

ps VB6.0 uses a different OLEAUT32.DLL than other versions however this is used by windows so there is a chance they just need to reboot and THEN your program will work... send the list.
