Compiled VB program won't work on network... Help!

[LSIGuy]

Hi,

I wrote a program on one computer in our lab area. I put it on the network drive and uncompiled it. It works fine on the station I was working on when I created it, but when I run it on another networked computer, it gives me an error saying it can't find the so-and-so module. What gives?

Most likely, the program is making a reference to some control which has been installed and registered on your development, but has not been on the other network machine.

It is generally an idea to use one of the Install Systems to actually install the application, which should also install and register all of the dependant controls and such.

Where can I get a program to install this on my machines?
Then, how do I make it install correctly?

On you development machine, you probably have the Package and Deployment Wizard. Try looking here:

Start->Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio->Microsoft Visual Studio Tools->Package and Deployment Wizard

If you run that wizard, it should create a Setup Package that could then use on other machines.
