Runtime error 424 Object required (Visual Basic) ?

[SphinX]

vb6 error 424

Salam,

I have designed a program to collect data from serial port then analyze and display them .

The code works very fine , then i built a exectable file and i sent it to my friend
He said to me, when he tries to send any serial data, a erro message "runtime error 424" encounter !!!

He installed the latest VBRUN library with serial component "MSCOMM32.OCX"

I have tried the same software "exectable version" but without any success on many computers.

When i run the code from visual basic , the code works fine .

Please can anyone tell me what's the wrong ?

Thanks very much

to Sphinx's friend
start-> run then enter following;
for XP
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mscomm32.ocx
for win98
regsvr32 c:\windows\system\mscomm32.ocx

Regards.

Registering mscomm32.ocx as described by H_u_n_t_e_r frequently does not completely solve the problem for reasons that appear to be lost in the mists of time.

You can use the package and deployment wizard from the tools area. It will pack everything you need for your executable, and create install kit.
