I compiled my vb project in Wndows 2000. But I cannot run it in Windows 98.
What should I do?

Hey I've seen this post for a while and thought somebody was going to respond but...

You probably need the runtime to put on the windows 98 computer....

C:\Winnt\msvbvm60.dll or..\system32\msvbvm60.dll

for winnt

should fix the problem, cause if not then maybe you're trying to call an API function that's not supported in windows 98

later

exe's are so small because the majority of code they use, are in the form of universal files in the windows directory. It is very possible your program is calling on a universal file that wasnt shipped with windows98. Get the filename in the error and either package it with your exe via zipping or upgrade that OS to something new smile.gif

Somewhat Same Problem here....I created a project in VB in Windows XP....and it doesnt function at all on Windows 98.
However i find that if i compile the source code from Windows 98 it works fine...
I guess the reason for that is given in the previous posts....or is there something else now???

No, that's the main reason...as different OS's have different files, especially between versions like 95 and NT based versions, the easiest way to solve the problem is to recompile on the target OS. As pointed out by LaggyNewbie, if that's not possible, the troublesome file will have to be packaged with the exe.
