Hi,

Can anyone help me. I have created a program using VB Express Edition 2005, which i would like to run on a second machine.

Rather than publish the program (as this creates an installer which i would like to avoid as i would just like to copy the files across), i'm pulling the executable and dll file from the release folder in the project.

However when i run this on another machine i get the error,

...EventType: clr20r3 .... P9:system.invalidoperation

I assume this is because the DLL is not registered to the machine.

I have an existing MSI file which needs to be installed onto the second machine before i run my program anyway so was wondering whether or not i can simply add my DLL file to this MSI and use that to register it (using Orca?).

Can anyone help me to do this? I've tried various googled sites but they dont seem to make sense.

(Also, I have tried registering the DLL in the GAC but i still get this error message.)

Many Thanks,

Matt.
