No, this is simply a message warning you that your program exited normally. It can be useful, e.g, when you make a program that runs for a long time without no visible output. Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dump people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them...

Package and Deployment Wizard VB6 krekre19-Apr-04 6:46 krekre 19-Apr-04 6:46  Am trying to create a setup program for a small database driven program and am hoping to reduce the size of the package by NOT including the msvbvm60.dll. It would enable me to email the setup package rather than multiple diskettes or CD. Is there a way this can be done? kre Re: Package and Deployment Wizard VB6 Roger Wright19-Apr-04 7:17 Roger Wright 19-Apr-04 7:17  There might be a way to do it, but it's likely that your app won't run if you do. This dll is the Visual Basic Virtual Machine, introduced in VB6, and included in Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows 2003 Server. It was also included in Back Office Server and SQL Server, so if your target machines are running these products already, you might get away with it. You can check here[^] for other dlls that might be unnecessary, though. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group. Re: Package and Deployment Wizard VB6 krekre19-Apr-04 8:31 krekre 19-Apr-04 8:31  I had thought to make use of the available ftp sites for this dll if it was not already on a target machine. But I can't seem to remove it without the Wizard disallowing it. much thanks k k Re: Package and Deployment Wizard VB6 Mike Dimmick19-Apr-04 8:59 Mike Dimmick 19-Apr-04 8:59  The Package and Deployment Wizard's runtime (setup1.exe) is written in Visual Basic, and therefore requires msvbvm60.dll. You can't exclude it. These days I would recommend filing the PDW in a bit-bucket, and using Visual Studio Installer[^] instead. Or anything else. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder Re: Package and Deployment Wizard VB6 krekre19-Apr-04 9:57 krekre 19-Apr-04 9:57  If msvbvm60.dll is already on a target system, setup1.exe would run wouldn't it? It sounds to me that VB will not allow it. I can exclude the "VB runtime and OLE automation" but it would be unmanageable to have to sort this bundle out and make sure they are all there beforehand. I thought it would be simpler to exclude just the one dll. Ah well, thanks for your advice. I'll have to think of some other way. k k Email in VB .NET Jubal1519-Apr-04 6:08 Jubal15 19-Apr-04 6:08  How do you get a users default email client and open it from a VB .NET windows desktop application?

Thanks!! regards...Jeff Distribution of VB.Net in the future trimtrom19-Apr-04 5:14 trimtrom 19-Apr-04 5:14  Hello, I write shareware and at present use VB6 for my programs. I was wondering if there would ever be a time when it wouldn't be necessary to include the .NET runtime (all 20 MB) in VB .NET distributions. The size of the runtime prevents me migrating to VB .NET, because it is so impractical for small shareware programs downloaded from the Internet. Is the runtime going to be included in future versions of Windows, for example? Thanks, Trimtrom Re: Distribution of VB.Net in the future Dave Kreskowiak19-Apr-04 6:05 Dave Kreskowiak 19-Apr-04 6:05  Yes, Windows Server 2003 already comes with the .NET Framework installed. And it looks like every new version of Windows will also come with it. But, that won't help the millions of user who are still on Windows 98, Windows NT, 2000, and XP. They'll still have to download and install the Framework...

When obtaining NewsGator (a .NET based RSS aggregator) from their website, they check your CLR/.NET version from the Internet Explorer version string that gets sent as part of any HTTP request, and presents the appropriate download for you. That way users with .NET already installed don't have to redownload it. And .NET installs are more common than you might think, it seems (I've seen figures ranging from 20 to 50% of all desktops). If you have a website for distributing your apps, check your logs to see how prevalent it is yourself and decide from that.

Well, I'd certainly check for the installed base in your own users/market, but I'd say that you do need to consider migration at least.

Requirement comes from users struggling with Crystal reports, and wanting something simpler. What I'm looking to do, is embed some sort of word doc editor inside a winform.

My add-in inserts some code which I wrap in a #region declaration and I want to automatically collapse the region to hide the generated code to keep the developers code in view as much as possible. Has anybody done this? I have tried using the Collapse and OutlineSection but I dont know if I am setting myself up in the text selection object correctly... ' Get a text object Dim lText As TextSelection = CType(applicationObject.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection) ' Move to the beginning of the document so we can iterate over the whole thing. lText.StartOfDocument() If lText.FindPattern(mRegionHeader) Then lText.WordLeft() lText.OutlineSection() lText.Collapse() End If Any ideas would be warmly welcomed. Nursey TransparentProxy error in remoting Sandeep Sharma19-Apr-04 2:20 Sandeep Sharma 19-Apr-04 2:20  Hi, How can I send a word document object from server to client thru remoting architecture. I am using word object model for word 2003 in vb.net. Actually, from client side, if I pass a .net type like Datatable or dataset etc to server by reference and on server side, i manipulate it, then the effects are reflected on client side very well. I create a word.document object on client side, and send to server. On server side, I do some manipuation on it and return. Then on client side, the object becomes {System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.__TransparentProxy}. I dont know what going wrong somewhere. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx Sandeep
