1. Running DCOM95.EXE from SETUP1.EXE hangs!?
Hello everybody
On the hard way I have learned that to distribute ADO with your application
you have to make sure that on the destination PC DCOM is installed. Since
the VB6 setup can not automatically install DCOM I spend 2 days figuring
out how to modify the Setup1.VBP to make it install DCOM95 when the target
system does not have it yet. This works fine until at the end of the
DCOM95-Setup a messagebox appears, telling me that I have to reboot my PC
to make DCOM95 effective. Clicking on Yes does not reboot the PC however,
it simply dumps me back into an empty blue form from Setup1. (Running
DCOM95 directly does not produce this problem)
Can anyone give me a hint what might be going wrong!
Thanks for any helpful hint that gets me a little bit further out of this
mess!
Roland
Code used to run install DCOM:
Public Sub InstallDCOM()
If Not (DirExists(gsTEMPDIR)) Then
MkDir gsTEMPDIR
End If
ExtractFileFromCab GetShortPathName(gsCABNAME), gstrSEP_AMPERSAND & _
gstrFILE_DCOM, gsTEMPDIR & gstrFILE_DCOM, gintCabs, gstrSrcPath
If FileExists(gsTEMPDIR & gstrFILE_DCOM) Then
SyncShell gsTEMPDIR & gstrFILE_DCOM, INFINITE
End If
End Sub
