VB Application corrupting Internet Explorer 1

[sciclunam]

Hi,

Maybe someone can help me with this pain of a problem.

I have a VB program which I designed. Nothing special, just combo boxes, Janus Grids and access to Sql Server.

I did the Setup files using the Package & Deployment Wizard of Vb6. I am installing the system on Windows 98 machines.

It looks it is corrupting IE. The problem is that after it's installation, links which open in a new window do not open at all. The new window remains blank.

I re installed IE, Installed the Service Pack 1, removed the application I installed but NOTHING. The only way to get everyhting back is a format and reinstallation.

I even reinstalled Win 98 (without a format) but NOTHING!
Everything the same.

Has anyone had this problem?

You should never include those files in your setup program, as they're considered part of the operating system.

msvcrt.dll[tab]&quot;Microsoft Visual C Runtime&quot;
[tab]Used by the operating system (much of Windows was written in Visual C)

oleaut32.dll[tab]&quot;OLE Automation 32-bit&quot;
[tab]Provides a lot of the OLE/COM functionality. Needed by things like the MMC viewer.

stdole2.tlb[tab]&quot;Standard OLE Typelib&quot;
[tab]Typelib for OLE/COM. Used by other programs to define what services COM offers.

Thanks chiph.

These files are automatically put in the setup file by the VB's Deployment Wizard. I will remove them then.

Do you know of other files which must not be included?

Thanks
