I am having a hard time geting the Install shield to correctly install
the calendar ocx in other computers. The app works great on the
development computer but if I go to a clean computer it will not
install the ocx correctly. I mean Install Shield installs the app, but
when you go to run the app and try to access the form with the
calendar control you get an ocx error. Then if you click ok the
calendar control comes up but with wrong date and errors out when you
try to do anything at all with it. I have tried making it self
registering and all the other selection in Install Shield but still no
good. Now it also seems to install correctly on some computers but
not others. Is there an issue with this in VFP 8.0???

Hi Patrick:

Are you using the merge module to distribute the ActiveX control or are you
placing the calendar OCX itself on the machine? I would create a new ISM
file and add the mscomct2.msm (Microsoft Common Controls-2 6.0) merge
module to the install package. This will pace the calendar control on the
machine and perform the proper registry entries.

I hope this helps.

Hi Patrick:

Does this app work on any machine? If so, check the version of the control
on the machine where it works and then on the machine where it does not
work. Are you running any anti virus software on the machine were you get
the error? If so, please disable it.

Do you have Access or VB on the machine where the app fails? If so, try
placing the control in an Access or VB form and see if that works. There
might be some problem with the control itself.

I hope this helps.

Actually this app works on 99% of the machines it was installed on. It
only did not work on the new Window XP media machine for some unknown
reason. Not going to worry about it for now as the app won't be
installed on that type of OS in the field :) Looking at Win 2K pro
and server installations and it worked there with no problems. It was
just a very strange thing to me as I never had it happen to me before
