Missing(?) files in Vista

[Andre]

Hi,

I am having a little problem in Vista. Have a VB6 program that does some
voice to text and text to voice conversion on my older PC running under
Windows XP. It works fine in XP but not in my new Vista PC. Two smallish
files Xlisten.dll and Xvoice.dll are missing in Vista.

My questions are: Can I just copy the 2 missing *.dll files to Vista Windows
directory, and register them mannually? Or are these *.dll files are just a
bridge to something bigger that may also be absent in Vista?

Thanks

Check at the program manufacturer's website to see if it is Compatible with
Vista, and if not, if there are any updates to make it so.

Failing that, right-click on its setup.exe>Properties>Compatibility>install
it is XP SP2 mode.

Thanks for the hint Mick. Actually I found a solution by looking into the
contents of the VB6 distribution package of my VB6 program and discovering
that the 2 missing files: in the Vista PC; Xvoice.dll and Xlisten.dll are
present with a bunch of other system files in the VB6 package. After
installing the VB6 distribution package on my new Vista PC, both Xvoice.dll
and Xlisten.dll files were properly installed and registered.

Unfortunately, after my well functioning old VB6 XP Windows based program
was converted to sparkling new VB 2008 Express Edition Vista compliant
program, the conversion process awarded me with no less than 1412 errors and
temporarily crippled my VB program.
