Fixed that. Get this now:
I am making a simple IM chat program in VB. I put the client.exe server.exe and the databsae file on my desktop. I run the server.exe and the client.exe fine and it connects great (note the VB project files are not in the same direcotry)
Whenever I send someone the client.exe which runs fine for me they get many errors like this:
Compenent MSWINSCK.OCX or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

If i get them to download mswinsck.ocx and put it in their system32, it comes up with a different file error, i try multiple times with multiple files but it just keeps going!
Any ideas on how to stop this?
Thanks,
anony

Check out the VB6 Runtime files. I think it might be in there. If it's not then it's in some other package. If you send them the file, the can put it in the system32 folder, but they still need to register it. Look here on how to do that:

If you don't like that explanation, google the topic, theres tons of results. Depending on what other errors you get, if it's more missing files, then you are probably going to need the runtime files put on any machine running the client.

You won't get much help that way, but if you are willing to pay, put it in the job offers forum. If you still want help, post the rest of the problem. I suggest you add in capabilites for an error log in order to write to, that way you will know how far you get before you strike an error in the middle of running a program.
