I want to deploy my app, which consists of three .exes plus supporting files. Two of the three .exes are almost identical. The VB project file for each of the three .exes lists the same references and components.
BTW, my app is NOT a database program. It's a dynamic simulation, with virtual process variable indicators and recorders, of a chemical plant's process control loops.
Before deployment, I installed (installation program: SetupFactory 9) on each of my 4 computers (all Windows 7. 2 are 64 bit, 2 are 32 bit). Three of four ran all 3 .exes without problem. One (64 bit) gave error message for one of the two almost identical .exes "Class not registered .... MSSTDFMT.DLL." Looking through Windows/System32 or Windows/sysWOW64, I found that this was the only machine that MSSTDFMT.DLL was not present.
I don't know what it is in this particular .exe is requiring MSSTDFMT.DLL, if the almost identical .exe does not need it. How can I find that out?
I think a larger question regards what is provided in Windows 7 and 8 for VB programs. I understand from one of the posts that Microsoft no longer provides the DLLs and OCX they once did.
Thanks for your help.
