Error Code 430

[alan b]

To make it short, my visual basic pgm when executed always give error code
"430" about Automation. I was told that something to do with IE broswer. So
I unstalled it and reinstalled from Windows Update and still get same error
msg when running the VB 6.0 pgm.

I am now asking how about reinstalling Windows XP without deleting all data
files as well as applications as VB, EXCEL. I have XP Windows Disk on hand.
Let me know about this possibility.

Hi, Alan.

I know nothing of Automation or Error code 430. I'm not even sure whether
(or how) you uninstalled IE6 and reinstalled it. :>(

But, I do know how to reinstall WinXP without losing the installed
applications. ;<)

Follow MS instructions in this Knowledge Base article:

Before you take this large step, though (It will take most of half a day),
you might want to run the System File Checker. Have your WinXP CD-ROM
handy, then, at the Run prompt, type: sfc /scannow

Is there a way for me to retrieve 25 character product key in System? I am
still looking for it on CD package.

Hi, Alan.

I'm glad it's working for you. ;<)

For the benefit of those behind us on the learning curve, what worked? SFC?
Or in-place upgrade?

Remember, in a newsgroup we all learn from each other. Now it's your turn
to teach. ;<)

Hi White,

Actually this problem has absolutely nothing to do with Reinstallation of
XP. The error code 430 disappears when I was instructed to go to IE
Explorer and delete all cookies and history files at Tools>Internet Options.
That is all there is to it, but it is not clear how it occurred.

The SFC thing did not work for me.. I tried to type SFC at MS DOS prompt.
It displayed ERROR msg. Perhaps, you can explain it more.

Hi, Alan.

SFC is the System File Checker, a part of WFP, Windows File Protection.
What that means is that WinXP tries to make sure that its critical operating
system files don't get deleted or corrupted. As insurance, WFP
automatically stores a copy of these files in a cache on our HD; you can see
it at \Windows\system32\dllcache (mine currently has over 3,000 files,
totaling nearly .5 GB). Whenever we update WinXP, with a Service Pack, for
example, the copy in the cache is automatically updated, too.

Every time we boot WinXP, WFP compares the working copy of each file with
this "known good" copy and replaces any missing or damaged file it finds
with the cached copy. We can have WinXP run this check whenever we want by
using the SFC command, either in a "DOS" window or by clicking Start | Run
and typing the command. SFC will probably need to see our original WinXP
CD-ROM, so it's good to have that handy before we begin.

As usual, type sfc /? (or just sfc alone) at a command prompt for a
mini-Help file showing the parameters available. We most often use the
/scannow switch to start the scan immediately. There are many more details
in the WinXP Help and Support Center; just Search for "windows file
protection" or "sfc".
