registering dll's

I have created a dll in fox.
When I register the dll on another machine using regsvr32, regsvr32 says the
dll has registered successfully.

When I try to create an instance of the class with createobject() I get an
error.

On 2000server I get 'Class factory cannot supply requested class'

On XP Professional I get 'Unspecified Error'

In both cases the instance of the class is not created.

I have compiled the dll as single instance and Multiuse using fox6 and fox7.

The result is the same with both.

Instances of the class can be created fine on my development machine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dave,
In what environment are you trying to create this object? (VFP, Delphi, =
Access, VB, C++, etc.) What version and service pack level did you use =
to create the .DLL?

Hi Dave:

Since the DLL works on your development machine, my first thought is that
the runtime files are missing. Does the user's machine have the VFP runtime
files installed? You need to place VFP7r.dll, VFP7renu.dll, Msvcr70.dll
and VFP7T.dll (if the DLL is multi threaded).

I hope this helps.

Check the code of the init event of that class and see whether any of the
code can fail there. I have usually seen this error when there are problems
in the init event. For example you may be opening a file that is on the
development machine but not on the other machine.

Hope this helps.

Yes all the runtime files are installed for fox 6,7 and 8.
I am trying to create the object within a fox program written in fox7.

Thanks, removing the init procedure from the class has cured the problem.
