I tried to start a Visual basic 6 application on an embedded system.
But it didnt run.

I tried the following:
- installed vbruntime
- used setup by package and deploy wizard.

What else do I need???
Any suggestions?

Martin,

I tried to start a Visual basic 6 application on an embedded system.
But it didnt run.

What errors? What happens?

I tried the following:
- installed vbruntime

Why did you have to do that?
"Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Library" is in the XPe Repository.

- used setup by package and deploy wizard.

What else do I need???
Any suggestions?

A couple of hints (one of them may help):

- Add "Dos Windows on Windows Support" component.

- Use Dependency Walker (don't forget to turn on Profiling) to analyze all the application (setup in first) static and dynamic
dependencies

- Use Regmon/Filemon (www.sysinternals.com) to monitor the installation to see what's missing from your runtime

- Use tools like InCtrl5 or better RegSnap to capture all registry entries from the installation on XP Pro. then include all the
registry required to your image.

- Test the installation on XPProEmulation.slx huge image (virtually any software component from XPE Repository). You can find it
on www.xpefiles.com (Development Utilities/Main)

Hi Martin

You also have to include everything your application need.
Maybe it asks for some process you didn't include in your image.
You should run the application in a station with XP Pro, and verify
the files and process it requires.

This can be done using the sysinternals tools go www.sysinternals.com
and download the process explorer and the file monitor tools.
