Class not registered - deployed executable 2

[shemt]

I wrote a simple little VB program and made it into an executable. Two of the relatives that ended up with the program said that they got the following error message: Class not registered. You need the following file to be installed on your machine. MSSTDFMT.DLL

What can I do to fix this?

Did you just use the "Make YourApp.exe" option from VB? If so, you have two options.

1) Have them manually register the dll with regsvr32 MSSTDFMT.DLL

2) Run the Package and Deploy program and have your relatives reinstall (this one will also make your set up much more professional and impressive without any additional code)

Let me know if you have any problems or questions

when you say 'executable' do you mean that all you sent them was the .exe file? without creating an installation program for your application you can't expect it to work on other computers. Use the package and deployment wizard to create a setup program. If you already did, check that the file in the error message is included in your installation. Ruairi

Thanks, ToddR and Ruairi. I thought making an executable of this simple program would be sufficient. I will go back and do the packaging. Thanks again!
