Hi,
I have developed a VB Application in Windows2000 and created a package. I run the setup and at the end I got the error "An Error Occurred While Registering the File Msado21.tlb". I ignored that error and the application worked well. But when I try to install the setup in Windows XP I got the same error and when running the application I got the error "ActiveX Component cannot create Object". The application will insert an image in an Existing word file and send it as attachment by email. If it works in Windows 2000 and why it is not working in Windows XP?

Thanks for helps

Remove the Msado21.tlb from your setup list and remake your setup package.

Why use ADO2.1, when ADO2.6 and ADO2.7 have been around for a while, especially when you are writing applications for Win2000 and WinXP? Might I suggest you at least use ADO2.5 which resolved many of ADO2.1 problems.

Thanks guys
I get my error solved. In VB Apllication, I send email using CDONTS. I started IIS and configured to SMTP Services in the XP and now it is working well.
