Problem with VB6 Packaging and Development

[MitchPitt]

I am trying to use the Packaging and Deployment wizard for a crystal reports VB6 program that I am developing. When I get to the end of the wizard and click finish, it will give me the error of "Unexpected error number 80010108 has occured: Automation error The object invoked has disconnected from its client". I've read some things online that it has to do with the dependency files of the dlls but I cannot figure out how to get this to work. Any suggestions?

I started receiving this same error after upgrading to Crystal Reports 8.5
To resolve this error, find the crystl32.dep in your system and open in Notepad. Modify the section: [CRPE32.DLL]
Dest=$(WinSysPath)
Uses1=CRPE32.DLL
Uses2=
So that it reads:
;[CRPE32.DLL]
;Dest=$(WinSysPath)
;Uses1=CRPE32.DLL
;Uses1=
;Uses2=

It worked for me and so it should with you.

I changed that part of the dependency file, but it still will not work.

The error was caused by a circular reference in the .dep that the PDW could not get out of. In addition to the changes 21544 advised, you need to ensure the crystl32.ocx and the crystl32.dep are both in the winnt\system32 folder

Have a look at the following --
