Hi,

I've begun distributing a VFP8 app to customers and I've bumped into a new problem that didn't seem to raise its head in the past.

The problem is the MS Status Bar inside of MSCOMCTL.OCX. On my development machine this file is version number 6.0.88.62.

On some client machines (notably W2K Pro) my app installs properly but when they run it, an error is thrown (class not registered) that I have traced to the attempt to instantiate the status bar.

I have had them manually unregister and reregister that OCX and we get the same results.

Interestingly, some clients report that they can install the same app on other W2K Pro machines and everything works fine. So I'm struggling with a local machine problem.

I thought maybe service packs would be a quick solution but when comparing the failing machines with the successful ones, I'm not so sure. For instance compare these machines:

W2K, sp1 - app works
W2K, sp1 - does not work
W2K, sp3 - does not work

Can anyone confirm that I have the latest file (MSCOMCTL.OCX v6.0.88.62)?

Are there other dependencies when using this OCX?

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Guy
