I have tried the package and Deployment Wizard for my software.
A package folder with a Support folder, .cab and a setup are created.
I copied the whole package folder to another PC and run the setup.exe. However, when i executed my exe file, it still prompt me an error "Unknown error in finding XXX.dll"

in my code, i have this dll registered
ShellReturn = Shell("regsvr32 /s ""C:\HOB\XXX.dll""", vbHide)
I have already included this dll inside the package.

can anyone advise what had i done wrong? sleepy.gif

there are a few .dll (dynamic library) files which VB uses to run any program. in Windows the files need to be located in the System folder and sometimes the System32 folder. I am not to sure of the location on *nix though. Also if your code calls anything that is OS or hardware specific, and not abstracted through the generic ANSI API it will not cross the OS platform barrier.

Put this in a batch file and call it when your Application's installation is complete.

Then start the app.

What .dll file exactly is it not finding? Some are included within other dlls or .ocx files that can only be loaded using the parrent file.
To look up the .dll file name - Click on Project - Refernces and use the Browse button to find the exact .dll or .ocx file you need to include in the Package and deployment in the dependancy files section.
