File system object error 1

[modalman]

I have written a small application that reads and writes to a file using the FSO. I have 3 pc's all with Win98se installed. However the program only works on 2 of them. With the third one it gives the following message:

Runtime error 429
ActiveX component can't create object

This happens when the exe runs the line:

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

Check that scrrun.dll is in the system folder on the problem PC. If not, copy it there then register it with this Run command:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll

Hey, you the man. It works. Many thanks Paul. Now I need to make sure that this program runs on other pc's as it will be downloadable from a website. I can check the existence of scrrun.dll and copy it there if necessary but how would I go about registering it in VB?

Use the Package and Deployment Wizard to build an installation package that contains your exe and all its run-time dependencies. Test the package on PCs that have never had your app or VB installed.
