Hi all,

I have made a vb6 porgram, it is running without any error in windows platform. However, i want it to be run at Fedora too. I run my program with Wine Windows Program Loader in a Linux pc, but the program stuck with an error message:

Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

I thought it was the error message because of missing some dll/reference files, so I tried to copy all those related .dll & .ocx file into my wine file. (Just copy and paste into the system32 of wine, no regsvr32 statement to register the .dll as what we always do in Windows.) However, all my efforts are in vain. I not sure what is the cause of this error. Anybody can give me a hint on this issue?

p/s: My purpose to run the vb6 program in linux is because I want to make a scheduler in linux pc so that this program can be run once per day automatically and send email. Any suggestion on how to achieve this also are welcome. I am lost... Many many thanks!

I think this is enough .....
I do agree with you. Those are the most effective way

You have to register the .dll files, I don't think you can just copy them into a folder. There are some additional tools for configuring wine to get things like ActiveX working.

I have no idea on how to achive this.
Maybe I should not make vb6 program to run in Linux? :crying:

Try installing winetricks.

I decided to give up on working vb6 in Linux.
I'll try on perl script. Thanks

Try Realbasic!

It works on Mac, Linux and Windows
