Hi all

I just finished converting a program from vb6 to vb.net by rewriting it bit
by bit. The program uses a dll which contains a servername and domain name
in it. Under vb6 all i had to was have this file registered by using
regsvr32 and no matter where it existed the program would work as long as it
was registered. Now ive made a new dll and compiled it and made a refernce
to it in the software as i did under vb6. The problem is first off if i try
to register it with regsvr32 in the usual spot i was putting it
(%WINDIR%\Syste m32) i get a strange error saying the dllregisterserv er entry
point is not found ? If i try to run the software i get a the exception. So
im guessing ive done something wrong along the way and need a bit of help to
get back on track. The .EXE file normally runs of a mapped network drive and
the DLL file is registered on the local machines. Tell me this is still
possible to do. Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi all

Well i half solved my problem, i found that i had to assign a strong name to
my dll and put in the assembly directory on the machine. Which it now runs
from local hard drive ok but not from network, what else am i doing wrong ?

Is security the issue here?

http://tinyurl.com/48z5l

I usually just run the wizard and chose "Adjust .Net Security" and grant the
computer Full Trust for intranet zone. Probably not the safest thing to do,
but it works and I only got to do it once.

Hi all

Is it possible to trap this error (the error being that a referenced dll has
not been added to the assembly cache on the machine) ?

Thanks

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
