Tracy,
I forgot to mention that I use a VCX class. In order to post the code here, I exported the class definition using the Class Browser. That's why I never run into this problem with my class.

Sorry about that.

FWIW, there's a similar problem with the MAPI control.

>Hi Daniel, according to MSFT, the file is comctl232.ocx. It registered successfully, but when I ran the runtime on the Win98 machine (after registering that file), I received the error: Appropriate license for this class not found. Any ideas? Anyone? The runtime is VFP7 with SP1.

>>>>Sounds like a registration problem. Which version of VFP are you using? If you're using VFP6, make sure you check [x] Microsoft Animation Control 6.0 (SP4) from the ActiveX controls... dialog (in the setup wizard). In VFP7, I have the following settings in InstallShield Express Objects/Merge Modules:
>>>>

>>>>>I've implemented the code below with my own avi file successfully on W2k machines. However, when I installed my app onto a Win98 machine, I get a 'OLE ERROR CODE C383928fek... invalid class string' error message during frmanimation.load event. I'm assuming this is because the addobject comand requires MsComCtl2, correct? However, I do not have a MsComctl2.ocx on my system. I have mscomctl and mscomct2 and mscomm32 but no mscomctl2. Why does it work on the W2k systems then? Any ideas?
