I have this code here that I wrote with the Visual Basic 2005 Express
Edition Beta. However, I can't use the executable on other computers
because it was compiled to use the .NET Framework 2 Beta. Could
someone please compile this to use the .NET Framework 1.1? Heck, I
don't even know if it's possible. I'm a VB newbie.


Module Main

Sub Main(ByVal files() As String)

Try

Dim vector As Object = CreateObject("WIA.Vector")

For Each file As String In files
vector.Add(file)
Next

Dim dialog As Object = CreateObject("WIA.CommonDialog")
dialog.ShowPhotoPrintingWizard(vector)

Catch e As Exception

End Try

End Sub

End Module

Hi
You can just get framework 1.1 and compile your code against it yourself.

You might need to do some modifications to your code however , hope this
helps

Thanks. I was able to compile my code with the 1.1 Framework (I used
vbc.exe), but now nothing happens when I run it on other computers. It
works as intended on the computer I compile it with.

Here is the updated code:

Module Main

Sub Main(ByVal files() As String)

Try

Dim vector As Object =
Microsoft.VisualBasic.CreateObject("WIA.Vector")

For Each file As String In files
vector.Add(file)
Next

Dim dialog As Object =
Microsoft.VisualBasic.CreateObject("WIA.CommonDialog")
dialog.ShowPhotoPrintingWizard(vector)

Catch e As System.Exception

End Try

End Sub

End Module

Add some output there, for example a 'Console.Write(e.Message)' to see
if an exception occured.

I got it working - thanks for the Console.Write tip!

First, I tried what you suggested. On my other computer I got the
exception "Cannot create ActiveX component.", even when the code was
compiled on that computer. So there was no problem with the code -
there was something wrong with that computer. So I read more about the
WIA library (which contains the WIA.Vector and WIA.CommonDialog
objects) and found this:

"You will need WIAAut.dll to use the WIA Automation Layer. To locate
the file that contains the DLL and installation instructions, follow
these steps."

From http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...pagewiaaut.asp

So I searched the troubled computer for WIAAut.dll... nothing! So once
I downloaded and registered it, everything worked fine.
