Can you try this:
1. set the user's account as admin
2. run VBRun60sp5.exe (available from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290887)
3. test your Hello world under these rigths to make sure it is working
4. remove the user from the admin group
5. retest

Also:
-on which OS are you testing?
-can it be group policies?


>I have made a hello world program;
>

sub main
>    msgbox "Hello World"
>end sub

>Same error. Any thoughts?

>>Maybe a component (DLL or OCX)!

>>>This is the same error on 4 different apps. I feel it is a possible rights issue. But I have to find the answer as I have a great product and want to get paid so I can put gas in my evil SUV. The applications work great if you are the administrator, but the end user recieves the message.
