Should I distribute Winsock?Hello,
I have assumed that Winsock.ocx is an integral part of Windows, but apparently it is not, I have received this message from the user: Run-time error '339': Component 'mswinsck.ocx' not correctly registered: file missing or invalid. What should I do? I am using inno setup. Thanks, Kathy Personally, I *never* assume an end user has any OCX file my program uses,
so yes, I would include it with your setup. I do know that Vista does not ship this file. I *think* XP did.

For the most part, very few OCXs are included with Windows. So, you usually need to distribute and install any OCX you use in your project. There ARE a couple of exceptions, but very few. -- Mike Didn't I just say the same thing?

1. As i understand, Winsock.ocx not a part of Windows, so, you MUST distribute it. 2. For the future, try next way: 1. Create a clean windows install (without any software, just clean windows) 2. Check you software on it 3. Add required components, checking distrubition requirement for 3rd party software vendor 4. Check, check, check 3. create an installation package 4. check... nnn... Distribute I'm always create installers in this way and, usually, have no problem. The most often & hard to solve problem then users have some badly-written "shareware" program, where "cracked" external libraries used. In this situation, some programs (sometime my) falled down Hope, this help.

Check with all OS, which you declare to support. And, do not forget that different localized version can work slightly different.

You might find this interesting: At the now-defunct vbip.com there was a class available to replace the winsock OCX. The class was designed to act like the OCX. You can still get it by copying the code here: http://www.koders.com/noncode/fid6A5DE34C5F612EE855F482A0E75AD4B124FE4F2A.as px http://www.koders.com/vb/fid41348B760AF17B75C35626F9CA23EC4556F6209D.aspx The class can also be picked apart to get what's needed. I've never used the OCX myself, but from what I've seen of it, it doesn't seem to really be easier than API calls. When I wanted to write email code and http downloading code I just wrote it from scratch, using the class above -- and various other VB sampoles -- as guidance.
