Run-Time Error only in Vista

[Dweezil38]

Hi there. Hope someone can direct me to a solution. I have a WIndows App that
is quite complex and installs and runs fine on Windows XP machines but when I
install on a Vista Business system I get a runtime error. I think it may have
something to do with my use of MSMask edit text boxes but not sure? I'm using
VS 2005, developed with VB using .NET 2.0 on a XP Pro machine with all OP
updates installed. Here is the JIT error message I get:

Is there something that needs to be installed on the Vista machines? Any
help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dweezil

The error is telling you that the control you're trying to instantiate isn't
installed on the system.

Do you think it's this MSMask control? You need to (as far as I can tell)
deploye MSMASK32.OCX. As far as I know this is a fairly old control and may
not be included with later editions of Visual Studio.
