Dear Netizens, I have been humbled and am in desparate need of your help.

I created a relatively normal VB app, ran her through the setup wizard and all
appeared well (more particulars are below).  However, when installing the app
onto other machines, I SOMETIMES get an error message stating that "An error
occurred while registering the file GRID32.OCX".  The same error message
appears for MFC40.DLL and COMDLG32.OCX.  If I ignore the errors and try to run
the app, it aborts with a "runtime error 31037, error loading file" message.  
Since the three files were installed on the PC, I assume the error message is
correct and that there are registry problems.

Embarassingly, I must admit that I have spent several hours banging my head
against the wall on this problem, researched Technet, the Web and all other
resources known to me, but to no avail.  Now I stand before you (actually in a
kind of kneeling like pose), to beg for any assistance that you may be able to
give me.

Thanks for any help you may provide,
Bill Rowland

The particulars:

VB 4.0 32-bit
Setup Wiz created the setup files on the network
Dev Platform:  NT Workstation 4.0
App Platform:  Win95
I have installed Office97 on my PC, and I know that this causes some DLL
problems (oleaut32.dll), but have corrected those.
It is important to note that this app has been installed correctly on 3 of the
6 PCs on which it has been installed.  There is little difference between the
PCs.

Billy,
        Been there, got the tee shirt ;-)

        mfc40.dll is most likely culprit. there wre several variations on
dependacies
over the past year: some versions need msvcrt.dll others also need
msvcirt.dll. I gave up on setup wizard, and switched to Wise install 5.0
(best setup program I have ever seen!) Wise has you run your executable an
nottes loadlibrary calls, so it picks up new dependancies. The only thing
it has ever missed is the stdole.tlb file needed by to 5.0 common controls
(Office97). Probably thought it was just a type library, when it is really
a dll. You can get a fully functional demo version from http:\\www.glbs.com
(Great Lakes Business Software is the manufacturer).

Good Luck
