Run-time error 429
in [Visual Studio]
|
From: its_faiz on 14 Feb 2006 07:48 Hello, We have developed an application in VB6. When this application runs on the users machine it gives the following error message: Run-time error '429' ActiveX component can't create object I know that a file is either missing or unregistered actually causing this problem. Is there any utility that can clearly tell what file or entry is absent which is causing this problem. I have used FileMon and RegMon tools by "sysinternals.com" but could not succeed. Please don't ask me to register/copy the files (on which application is depending) one by one to get the problem resolve. I want to know the exact file name/registry entry that is causing the problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Faiz

It'll build a class module that checks to make sure everything your app depends on is present and registered. All you have to do is tell it to build the class and add a couple of lines to your app that instantiates the class and calls its VerifyInstallation method. It'll go through the list, firing an event before and after each verification, telling you the status, etc. If something's missing, you can easily show a message box telling the user what's wrong. Even with that in place though, if the message box shows, it means the class could not find the component in either of the 2 places it checks (the registry and a path to the component) Note that it's shareware but fully functional so you can build that class and uninstall it afterwards if you want. > Any help will be highly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Faiz -- Ken Halter - MS-MVP-VB - Please keep all discussions in the groups..

You could have saved me a ton of aggrivation. But, No! You had to wait until all my apps are in maintenance mode and three quarters of my hair is gone. Now I suppose you will wait another seven years before you write something that can figure out why that @#!% interopt @$#%$h!T won't work, when it worked just fine yesterday! <g> -ralph

Believe it or not, the Package and Deployment Wizard is actually useful for this sort of thing. Create an installation package for your application, then open up the setup.lst file that it creates in Notepad (or whatever). Listed therein are all the ActiveX dll's that your application needs. [At least] one of these will be missing from your target machine(s). > Please don't ask me to register/copy the files (on which application > is depending) one by one to get the problem resolve. But, short of creating and running an installation package, that's about the only way you're going to resolve it. (You do give you users installation packages, don't you ... ?) > I want to know the exact file name/registry entry that is causing the > problem. The /only/ people who know that with any certainty are Our Friends in Redmond - the rest of us can only /try/ to convince ourselves that we understand their tortured thinking (today).
