missing files using p&d wizard

[Cliff]

When I use the package and deployment wizard for VB6 (sp1) to create an
internet package, I receive a message indicating that the following files
are required by the package, but cannot be found (AutPrx32.dll,
AutMgr32.exe, RACmgr32.exe). If I do a search for those files on my system,
I come up blank. I can still create the package without these files, but I
encounter problems with the html created from the package.

When the HTML is opened a message prompting me to download the .vbd file
appears. If I click OK, the file is downloaded, but nothing else happens.
If I click cancel, nothing happens either. Whether or not those three
missing files has anything to do with my problems, is yet to be determined.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks

I'm trying to resolve the same problem. I found a Knowledge Base article
that has some information (Q167380), but it hasn't solved my problem. One
thing I did find in a test file I was using is that you need to have
versioning and project compatibility (binary) turned on in the project
properties.

Check you file associations. I had .vbd associated with internet explorer
and that seem to have caused my problems (file download messages). Once I
removed the file association, I was no longer received the prompt for the
file download.

Thanks for your help...my problems seems to be solved now. You were dead on
with .VBD association, I removed an association that was on my pc between
.VBD and internet explorer. Once I remove the file association, I am no
longer prompted for the file download.
Thanks again,
Cliff

Cliff,

Is the versioning turned on (Make tab of the Project Properties)? Is
there something common among the PCs that it doesn’t work on (don’t have VB
installed, different OS, different browser version, etc.)?

I resolved my problem by Making the EXE in the folder on the server and
not allowing the PDW to make the VBD and EXE. I found that with some
projects
the PDW would make the VBD with others it would not. By creating the VBD
before going through the wizard, you can be sure that the VBD and EXE are
the same version.

One other thing to check is whether the VBD file extension is associated
with IE? I had one computer where the files were associated and the VBD
wouldn’t download properly.

Hope this helps.

Kevin,

I created a simple form (just a couple of command buttons and a label),
set the binary compatibility on for the project, and re-compiled it with
binary compatibility set on. I’ve packaged the app, but still get the same
message (on some computers). If I run the html on the pc that I developed
the app
on, everything works fine...it even works fine on a some of the other pcs
in our office. However, there are other pcs in which the message will
always
appear. The same version of IE (4.01 sp1) and same security options for
IE are set for all the computers, but the html only works on some of them.

Someone mentioned to me that I could try changing the extension of my
xxx.vbd file to a xxx.bin and change the html code to open the xxx.bin
file. The rationale behind this move was to force, IE to open the file as a
binary file, for some installations, IE will open a .vbd file as a text
file.
This fixed the problem on some computers, but not others. The problems
still
exist for a couple of pcs...we even tried re-installing IE, but to no avail.

If you have any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Cliff

Hello and Assalamualaikum...

I'm a computer science student currently doing my practical training in a
small software developement company ( using vb6... whatelse ).

My problem is whenever i run the Setup project in the PDWizards folder, I
received an error ( shown below ) and it keeps showing me the same error no
matter where I install microsoft visual studio.

Application removal logfile ' c:\winnt\st6unst.001' not found.
Unable to continue.

Can anyone please advice me on what to do.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

What do you think running the setup project will do? The setup project is the
source to setup.exe - the program that executes and installs your application.

I would imagine that c:\winnt\st6unst.001 is the default and normally it would
get it information from the command line.

Step through the project and see what it is doing.

Thank you for your advice.It seems I have a lot of learning to do.
If you dont mind, could you just briefly explain to me how the setup
projects works and how do I use it. Thanks again.
