PRB: Sybase Formula One OCX Dependency Warning with Setup Wizard (179938)

SYMPTOMS

When using the Visual Basic Setup Wizard to create a setup application, you receive the following warning:

No dependency information could be found for: COMCTL32.DLL

which may be followed by:

No dependency information could be found for: COMDLG32.DLL

CAUSE

When using the Setup Wizard on a project that includes references to the Sybase Visual Components Formula One 5.0 control, VCF15.OCX, the Setup Wizard requires additional information to be added to the control's dependency file, VCF15.DEP.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, the following information should be added to the dependency file for the VCF15.OCX control, entitled VCF15.DEP. This file should be located in the System or System32 directory, depending on the version of Windows installed.

The dependency file is a text file that can be opened in any typical word processing application, such as Notepad. The contents of the VCF15.DEP file include:

[VCF15.OCX]
Register=$(DLLSelfRegister)
Uses1=OLEAUT32.DLL
Uses2=OLEPRO32.DLL
Uses3=STDOLE2.TLB
Uses4=COMCTL32.DLL
Uses5=COMDLG32.DLL

Once the file has been opened, the following information needs to be added to the end of the file:

[COMCTL32.DLL]
Dest=$(WinSysPathSysFile)
Uses1=

[COMDLG32.DLL]
Dest=$(WinSysPathSysFile)
Uses1=

After the information has been added, save the dependency file and run the Setup Wizard again. This allows the Setup Wizard to finish the creation of the setup application, and allows the application to install correctly.
