I am facing an interesting problem: I compile an exe file on my computer with XP pack3. And then I gave it to several people. One people told me my application works well on her vista machine but cannot run on her XP machine. Another person told me my application does not work on her Win7.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a simple card game. I have done several in the past, but always by creating card images in a picturebox. I would like to call up the cards within the VISTA operating system. I get the following error:Unable to load DLL 'cards.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
I have made the following declarations:

I am using VB EXPRESS 2008, (for the first time). As I recall, I did not have this problem in VB EXPRESS 2005.
I was wondering how I would make a program identify the operating system?
--EDIT basically so that the program can access a certain part of a file system no matter what the user directory is called?
I used VB6 to create an EXE file that uses MSComm1.The program runs OK in my XP computer and also in my Win7 computer (that has VBE installed).It would not run on my Vista laptop. I installed the VB runtime files (even though Microsoft says they are not compatible with Vista/Win7) but with no success.However, when I installed VBE on the laptop, it now runs the EXE quite happily.Does installing VBE also install a different set of runtime files?Is it posible to distribute my program to my friends who have Vista or Win 7, without them having to first install VBE?
View 5 Replieshow to get my vb6 exe to run in any win7 or Vista?The error I'm getting is: Component comdlg32.ocx or one of it's components is not correctly registered or missing. I've tried using the P&D Wizard to specifiy loading it into the SysWOW64 folder but I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly.

View 2 RepliesI have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.
Ok I have a application that works great on XP, but in windows 7 it will not let me write to my login file, says access is denied since I am not running as admin. Log file is located in "C:Program FilesCompany NameProductMyLog.LOG"
View 1 RepliesI have an app developed in VB that works fine on Vista machines but fails on Win7. The offending line of code merely references a variable stored in a module. Evidentally, something is quite different on Win7. How to I find and fix this behavior?
The code is very straightforward. The error occurs in the Application Startup event.
Public Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) _

View 5 RepliesWe have code in our former VB6 application, that ported fine to VB.NET, that plays a simple AVI file of the typical "flying folders" and "spinning maginfying glass" AVI. Under Windows XP, our application ran fine and everything was good.
Then we had customers start using Vista and Win7 and this stuff crashes. We were using the MS Common Controls (SP4) and then (SP6) - utilizing the Animation player. Now - these dont work and we get nasty errors.
I searched Microsoft and the web to answer the "what now?" question and though there are numerous suggestions, none of them work. We cant use Media Player because we dont want any menu - just the graphic. We dont know why, with the cool tools given in .NET, there is no animation player (seems a huge oversight...) But we need to get "unstuck" on this one, and we need that fast...
So, How does on play a simple AVI file using VB.NET code? What DLL or OCX does Microsoft recommend and is there a place we can find some sample code for it?
Can a form be Created that has Aero Glass when in Vista/Win7 and when running in XP or 98 use a regular border? If so can I have a link to the infromation or a code sample?

We have a Windows application, and we want to charge clients different prices base on their OS. There are 2 prices: 1 for client OS (XP, Vista, and 7), and 1 for Server OS (Server 2003 and Server 2008). My question is how can I retrieve the client's operating system from my vb code? By the way, I don't have to get the exact OS name, I just want to know whether it is a client OS or Server OS.

I'm trying to get an application to determine which operating system the user is currently running and use that to decide what to do. For example, a user uses the program and they're using Windows 7. I want it to know that and use predetermined variables throughout the program for Windows 7. Likewise if they're using Vista or XP/Macintosh.
