Re: VB 6 app crashes on windows 2003 server

Hi all. I have an app written in vb 6 that has been tested on win 98,
win 2k, win xp home, win xp pro. The app works fine on all of these
operating systems. However, the app has trouble on windows server
family operating systems. Specifically Win 2k server and windows
server 2003. After loading Visual Studio 6 on the win2k3 server to try to step through the code in order to debug the problem, it seems that the installtion of visual studio 6 fixed the problem(s) (After installing VS6, the app no longer crashed). I'm trying to figure out what files aren't being
installed by win 2k3 server that are installed by the other operating systems (or VS6).

When my app's executable crashes there are 2 "send error report prompts". When I click to view the details, the two offending modules are kernel32.dll and then msvbvm60.dll. I've tried to install the vb6 runtimes on the server and still get the same problem. What is visual studio installing to fix this problem on windows server 2003? Any replies are greatly appreciated. I'm hoping it's a subset of DLL's or OCX's that i can distribute to fix the probelm but i'm not sure. Thanks in advance to all replies.

James,
IIRC server has a special VB6 runtime installed with the build.
My guess, is that installing the IDE causes an entry in the compatibility section of the registry. Rather that actual files changing.
