Ah... Perhaps I was a bit unclear. Are you still trying to do this in Nant? If so, I meant in VB6!
I also forgot another step: 2a) In your VB projects, you need to (temporarily) set the reference to the in-IDE project, not the built version of the library. Having two VB-built components with the same GUID would be a good trick. The only way I can think of that may allow that to happen is if two independent projects, both derived from one starting point, share the same binary compatibility file. A far more likely problem is that because the component has not maintained full binary compatibility with the downstream references (either intentionally, or by overwriting/deleting the compatibility file, or rebuilding the library more than once without updating the compatibility file after an interface change), the referenced library simply cannot be located any more. The simplest method I know of to fix this is to open the referencing project, remove the reference to the library (sometimes VB6 will even tell you that it's missing), save the project and exit VB, then finally load the project back up and add the reference back in again. (I have found that skipping the shutdown step occasionally seems to confuse VB, and on several occasions has resulted in corruption of other Reference= lines.) I'm also slightly confused by your subsequent message where you say: there is no TransportX DLL with the GUID in Transport.vbp I assume you are referring to the GUID part of the "Reference=" line? Again, this would be consistent with TransportX.DLL being a VB project that has been rebuilt outside the project group (solution) while not maintaining binary compatibility. I also assume from your subsequent message that you have now found the right GUID. Is that true? All this strangeness just reminds me why I no longer choose to develop COM components in VB! :-) Hope you are successful.
