I have a problem in the Deployment of my project to another computer that has no Visual Basic 6 program installed on it.
I made a package through the Package and Deployment wizard in Visual Basic 6 on my own computer. Actually my project contains an ActiveX DLL. After, I want to deploy it to the other computer that has no Visual Basic program installed on it. The problem is, it has an error that says "The System is out of Date" and it requires to be restarted but after I restarted it has no effect.
Please help...

I'm not sure why you are having this problem - have you enabled windows automatic update??

It may be an idea to visit the microsoft website and check for updates.

If that doesn't work, there may be a way round your problem, it's something I have had trouble with myself, a couple of my projects have failed to install for one reason or another.

This is a bit of a cheat and not really a good solution, but....

If you install VB on the other computer, then restart your computer, now delete the directory which contains VB, don't uninstall it, delete it.  Once you have deleted it try to uninstall it, windows should tell you it cannot locate the files and asks if you wish to remove it from the list, answer YES and remove VB from the list.

What this means is that VB has registered its classes and installed the drivers necessary to run a VB program, but the software itself is not on the system.

Like I said its not the best way round your problem, but if all else fails it may be worth a try.

You could also download the VB6 runtime environment, this should allow you to install necessary drivers on your other machine. You can download it from a few places, here's a link I found:-

Hope this helps

I had a similar problem and the cause was that the Active X was not registered. I cannot remember how I got round it but if I get chance at work tomorrow I'll look up the details and post the relevant code.
