Question for VB 2005 guys...

[Specialk92282]

Yeah so I've worked for about 30 hours on a database program that interacts with excel and quickbooks only to find the switching to other computers gives me errors of System.InvalidOperation. I'm certain its not a code problem and I believe it only relates to the DLLs. This program work sfine on my computer but messes up on others. I have reason to believe it may have something to do with the GAC but I have no idea what it really does.

My referenced DLLs also mysteriously turn into Interop.DLLNAME instead of the original name. I've been programming with VB .net 2003 and VB6 for a while and this one is really puzzling...if you know a lot about deployment shoot me some ideas please, Thanks!

Did you create an installer to get the application running on the other PC's?

Start digging around here and here

Sorry I don't have more time right now to get into specifics - but those links should get you on the right track...

It doesnt sound like a Deployment problem. If your program interacts with excel and quickbooks, changes are that excel and quickbooks need to be installed on each computer also - are they?

The referenced dll's renaming are fine, that is a wrapper that is created (I believe).
