Setup file for VB project having ADODC

Hi All,
I have developed project in VB6.0 with access as backend.I have used ADODC control in VB to retrieve data from access. I have created the Setup file by Package & Deployment. Now when i install the software on other PC whole program works fine but ADODC can not establish connection with database. Then if I install VB6.0 then only ADODC works. Can any body guide me how can i create set-up file so that i can install my software without installing VB. Thanks

Hi...

you can use Regsvr32.exe /s ["yourfile.dll" or "yourfile.ocx"] , if you just will test by your hand type it in run

if you wanna to make it with your application you have two methods

method 1:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Shell "Regsvr32.exe /s MyFile.dll", vbHide
care in your mind if your file path have any space you must place it within double quote """" & FilePath & """"
'================================================= ========second method:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Declare Function LoadLibrary Lib "kernel32" Alias "LoadLibraryA" (ByVal lpLibFileName As String) As Long
  2. Private Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal lpProcName As String) As Long
  3. Private Declare Function RegistryCOM Lib "user32" Alias "CallWindowProcA" (ByVal lpPrevWndFunc As Long, ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal Msg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
  4. Private Declare Function FreeLibrary Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hLibModule As Long) As Long
  5.  
  6.  
  7. Public Function RegistryFile(ByVal FilePath As String) As Integer
  8. Dim LibraryHandle As Long
  9. Dim RegistryFunctionAddress As Long
  10.     LibraryHandle = LoadLibrary(FilePath)
  11.     If (LibraryHandle = 0) Then RegistryFile = 1: Exit Function
  12.     RegistryFunctionAddress = GetProcAddress(LibraryHandle, "DllRegisterServer")
  13.     If (RegistryFunctionAddress = 0) Then Call FreeLibrary(LibraryHandle): RegistryFile = 2: Exit Function
  14.     Call RegistryCOM(RegistryFunctionAddress, 0&, 0&, 0&, 0&)
  15.     Call FreeLibrary(LibraryHandle)
  16. End Function
GOOD LUCK

Thanks Ahmedyo
But pls tell me at what stage should i register? I think after diploying setup file. Am i correct? And if i want to use 1st method for registering should i repeat the command for registering each .ocx and .dll one by one? Please reply.
I hope registry will solve my problem.
Thank you very much.

Hi ...

yas man you must registry each file after copy it,this rule with all method that i was descript, copy file and then registry, but i recommend you to try it using hand first from command line, because if the problem is not to registry the file then you wast ur time in setup application

Best Regards
