Guest misters Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Hi I currently created a little card game using VB6 then saved it as an exe file, I then e mailed it to a friend to have a look.The problem is he cant seem to open the attacment without getting an error message.So I was wondering because i saved it on my win/98 machine would the problem be that they run win/2000 if so is there a way round this?Thanx in advance.

Prince of Calcutta Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 once you save it as an exe file it should run on any o/s right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest misters Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 So it wouldn't matter what IE they have either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Damo Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Im not sure but i think you have to install the MDAC components seperately on the 2000 machine....download the MDAC set up hereits the Installer that comes with VB6 that Doesnt work under Win/2000RegardsDamoI must point out tho that my knowledge of Visual Basic is ...erm...Basic!

Guest misters Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 Cheers but really think my friend should install as his os is win/2000 or is it me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Damo Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 if your friends the one on 2000 then he should install it, like i say its the installer that comes with vb6 that doesnt work under 2000, which could be why he's getting error messages when he trys to install it (the game)RegardsDamo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 hope this isnt against site policy but try a post here vb6 forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 misters, i've talked to a few people and they all have the same problem.. when compiled on one system it will not work on the other system unless the vb6 software is installed on that system too.. maybe coz it needs the runtime components or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
