This happens when you move an executable from one OS to another rather than actually installing your application.
You have to install your app on the XP box and let your installation replace the comdlg32.ocx and whatever else it needs. I know you are thinking that sucks - you are moving them from a newer version of comdlg32.ocx to an older one. It is all you can do though, short of rewriting your app to not use comdlg32.ocx. I have the same problem because I use Win2000 on my programming box. I have not had any problems with my VB app breaking anything else on users' boxes when replacing the comdlg32.ocx. ----- Original Message ----- From: "rnd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 5:02 AM Subject: [vbhelp] Common Dialog Control Uregent help needed.. > My user gets an error message when he tries to run my application > (Comdlg32.ocx wont load.. ) it appears he has a newer version on his XP > system than the application was compiled with. > > Im not sure of the safety of just replacing the version I have with a newer > one if the application doesnt run. it could mess up everything.. > > Could this be a registry messup, SURELY microsoft ensured the backward > compatiblity of this OCX.. and if not, why the hell not!! > > thanks in advance > > rnd > > > > > '// ======================================================= > Rules : http://ReliableAnswers.com/List/Rules.asp > Home : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vbHelp/ > ======================================================= > Post : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Join : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Leave : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > '// ======================================================= > > Yahoo!
