Install Error (HRESULT 2147024770)

[neilkonitzer]

I am attempting to deploy a VB.NET application using the setup project within VS.NET. Our project uses third party COM components. The installs work fine on XP systems; however, our Windows 2000 users are receiving the following error during the install...

Error 1904 Module C:\Program Files\xxx.dll failed to
register. HRESULT 2147024770hresult -2147024770

Anyone receive problems like these only on W2K systems?

Thanks in advance!

Quick question, did you copy the install local to the 2k machine? Or attempt to install from the network? Win 2k terminal server chokes on .Net installs if the msi pakage hasn't been copied local.

Another likely issue would be that the 3rd party dll you are using has dependencies that were not included in your deployement. The joys of COM <gag> you'll need all of the dependencies for the 3rd party COM objects to get it to register correctly on the target machine.
