BTW: your app does need to be installed. Luck should not be part of the
installation process.

Well, it was not any of the above.
The PC I was working one first had Comodo installed and it was locked in a
fight with windows over control of app startups. It was a Windoes mssage
not
Comodo.
I like Comodo beter that Zone Alarm because the messages are much easier
to
understand (when it is working). The other PC that worked ok the first
time
I tried had no firewall at all.
After I disengaged Comodo, all apps that were copied over worked just fine
(not to say that in the future some other app might not).
But these are relatively simple and have no CommonDialog or other
interfaces
that might need to improper connection to the app at startup.
I pulled the plug on the PC (the only way to really shut down these newer
PCs cause if if you look you will see that they still leave the light on
(on
the motherboard) when using XP or Vista shutdown and are thus still
powered.
i.e. peripheral device interfaces are still powered. I have found many
times
that I can only clear a Windows Vista problem but pulling the plug. A
restart does not do it. I would reboot multiple time and do shutdown
multiple time only to fnd that Vista wold not start. Then I pulled the
plug
and tried again. Start on first attempt with no ill effects. Lessons
learned the very hard way.
Looking for a better firewall. Suggestions.

I have several VB6 apps that are copied to different PCs.
I do not believe they need "installation" since they run when
double-clicked.
However, today I copied a few over and some ran and some gave me this
error
message.
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have
appropriate permissions to access them.
This is a terrible message and leaves out the important information.
Like
what path etc.
And to make matters worse, you cannot swipe the mouse over the message to
copy it.
Windows programmers need ergonomic training!
And this window needs a spell checker.
rant over.
Apps are being copied to a XP SP2 pc.
I am the only user. A home PC.
What permissions do I need to use my own PC?
On my second XP SP2 PC, I just copied them and they run fine.
What is the difference?
What is this all about?
I have no clue.
Suggestions please.
