Comment: Hey all,
Im having a problem with Visual basic, seeing as i actually wanna learn it finally, i cant install it. I've installed it multiple times on this machine before but everytime i try lately i keep getting this error message near the end of the installation. "Setup was unable to create a DCOM user account in order to register 'C:\program Files\microsoft Visual Studio\CommonaTools\VS-Emt98\Vanalyzer\Valec.exe' Has anyone ever seen or heard of this kind of error before? This has never happened before and its pissing me off honestly. Any help will be appreciated.

Reply: (edit)Off of the root directory on the VB installation CD is a folder name DCOM98. In that folder is an executable named DCOM98.EXE. Run this app and then reboot and try to install VB once again. This should fix the problem. borelli34

Reply: (edit)Ok, there has to be another issue here. I have VB 6.0 installed on my XP Pro machine and have never had installation issues. What edition are you running? Standard, Professional or Enterprise? borelli34

I went to my Start menu/Microsoft/Visual Studio/Tools and visual analyzer was in there. I didnt install it, so i dont know why its there, it works too which is strange. I think ill just format my HDD anyway, it hasnt been done in a while. Thanx for your help Borelli.
