VB6 - Run Project on another Computer

[thesti]

hello,

i've completed my personal project in my laptop. my program uses Crystal Report 10, and i add references to the Crystal Report (such as the CRAxdrt)

if then i copy project folder, which contains the *.frm, *.rpt, *.vbp, *.vbw and other fils. can i open and run my project on another computer? is there any prerequisites?


Thank you.

yes there are prerequisites

first of all you have to registered all the ActiveX controls that are you using in your VB application like datagrid,common controls and any other..... and you have to register crystal reports controls

Those files will not be recognizied by the other computer unless it also has visual basic 6.0 installed. What you need to do is to use the PDW, Visual Studio Installer 1.1, Inno, Wise, or any number of other installation programs out there to install your program on the other computer...



Good Luck
