I have an application that i will be installing on different machines. So I
thought i would use the package and deployment wizard to create the setup
file. This runs fine however when i go to run the program once it is
installed it runs, but none of the forms will show up. It is listed in the
windows task manager. I have a main form and on the load event of that form
i call another form using form.show vbmodal. I have the user hit yes or no
on that form and a timer on that form as well incase the don't respond it
will revert back to the main form. It runs fine if i just run the exe file
that is produced in VB by going to file...make program.exe. That works but
if i use the package and deployment and run the installed file, the forms
wont show up on the screen. Any ideas??
Maybe it's just me, but I'm quite thoroughly confused by that description. As I can tell, you're basically saying that your compiled EXE runs fine on your dev PC, but not on any PC it's installed on via a PDW-created Setup? Are you getting any errors? Does your program have error handling code to trap errors? Are you using On Error Resume Next, which is just going to cause any errors to be ignored? The program is obviously installed "correctly" as far as dependency files go or else it wouldn't run at all, so I think you can rule out an improper installation. That means there's a problem in your program's code. Without more information, such as an error that's getting raised and the code that's causing that error, pretty difficult for us to diagnose.
