DOCUMENT:Q187924  20-JUN-1998  [vbwin]
TITLE   :PRB: Unable To Build Internet Download Distribution Set
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:5.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for
   Windows, version 5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When attempting to build an Internet Download Distribution set with the
Application Setup Wizard for a project saved to a network drive, the
following error message is received:

   The information found in the file <filename> does not match that found
   in the registry. Make sure your project was compiled on this machine.

CAUSE
=====

The Visual Basic project was saved to a network drive using a Universal
Naming Convention (UNC) path such as "\\Machine1\VBProject" rather than to
a mapped network drive.

RESOLUTION
==========

Map to the desired network drive, save and recompile the project. Do not
use a UNC path to save an internet application project.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new ActiveX EXE Document project with Visual Basic.

2. Compile and save the project to a shared folder on another machine using
   a UNC path, such as "\\Machine1\VBProject."

3. Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, map to the network drive used in
   step 2. This step is necessary because the Application Setup Wizard
   does not work with UNC path names. Attempting to locate the project
   created in step 1 using a UNC path will generate an error in the Wizard.

4. Start the Application Setup Wizard.

5. Locate the test project created in step 1 on the mapped network drive.

6. Select "Internet Component Download," and then choose Next.

7. Proceed through the remaining Setup Wizard steps as desired. When you
   select Finish, the Application Setup Wizard will attempt to compress the
   listed files and the above error message will be displayed.
