Registering binary components

[Marco]

I'm trying to learn VB. I get the following error when I add a VB project to
the one I'm currently working on

"Unable to set the version compatible component C:\...\Dir\bin\ Project2.dll"

where Project2.vbp in Dir is the project I'm trying to add to Project1.vbp.

I thought I might have to register the dll, but the bin directory mentioned
in the error message doesn't seem to exist.
What should I do?
Thanks,

Marco

In Project Properties go to the Compatibility tab and point it to the
actual compiled version of Project2.dll (which is somewhere on your
machine, hopefully).

If you don't have any such file, you'll have to change it to "No
Compatibility". Then you can compile the dll, make a copy, change it
back to "Binary Compatibility" and point it at the copy of the dll you
just made. All exe's compiled against the old version of Project2.dll
will need to be recompiled with references changed to the new version.
