VB COM, Process to replace old COM obj with new

Process to replace old COM obj with new

Author	Message
King Wilde #1 / 3	Process to replace old COM obj with new Is there a standard procedure when I want to update a COM object in VB6 on the server? Can I just unregister the existing object (DLL), copy the new file (DLL) into the same location and register that one without conflicting results? Or do I have to unregister the first one and delete it, before copying the new one and registering it? Thanks, King Wilder -- ---------------------- Gizmo Beach www.gizmobeach.com 626 351-4334 ---------------------

CT #2 / 3	Process to replace old COM obj with new King, Unregistering the existing COMponent is enough. Just overwrite (in which case you're deleting the old one anyway) it and register the new one. -- Regards Carsten Thomsen MVP VB/MCSE/MCSD/VB Programmer & Analyst PLEASE post ALL replies to the newsgroup(s) so we can all benefit from the discussion!

Ricky Mendoz #3 / 3	Process to replace old COM obj with new Unless the dll is currently in-use, therefore, can't delete it. You may want to unregister it. Reboot the PC, then overwrite it with the new version. Then re-register your dll. If you don't want to reboot your PC, just un-register the old dll. Put the new dll in another directory then register it. There are also compilation options with VB which deals with version compatibility. You may want to check it out. http://msdn.microsoft.com/training/free/chapters/mvs2/topics/mvs0087.htm The start-up URL is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/training/free/chapters/mvs2/topics/mvs00182...
