Re: Configuration problem (help!)

You installed VB5 and then it complains about not being able to find
Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 (SP3) & Microsoft Windows Common
Controls 5.0 (SP2). You know what the (SP2) and (SP3) mean?
Have you installed the service packs?

You may find that service packs for VB5 are rather thin on the ground, My
MSDN subscription does not go further back than VB6 so I don't have any
references. However you should be able to use VB6 with Service pack 5 or 6
all of which should be easy to source.

I am trying to recreate a runtime/development environment on a
different machine.

We are using VB5.

I have one running, but my network people say that they cannot just
clone it because of some sort of lock in of its network identity or
something.

So, I figured I would just load VB5 on the machine they gave me and it
would work. I figured loading the VB5 development system would
provide a run-time environment so I would not have to run setup to
install and reinstall our project, but it is not working.

I can't even run the code in the development environment, when I try:

1. It complains about not being able to fine comdlg32.ocx and
comctl32.ocx.

2. Controls that are check on the Project/Component/Controls menu in
the environment that works are *not even available to check* in the
new environment. They are:

Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 (SP3)
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0 (SP2)

Maybe I patched or cofigured the orginal working development
environment differently, but I don't recall doing anything except
running the VB5Cli.Exe patch and I did that on the new one.

Needless to say, my exe's will not run on this new system either. I
figured that installing the development environment would provide a
runtime environment as it does on the original system. But it exe
fails with run-time error 50003.

The old system has comdlg32.ocx in its System32 file. But the new one
has comdlg32.oca.

I can copy these files over to the new system, but do I have to do
more than that?
