TITLE   :BUG: License Not Included With Active Control Distribution
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

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

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for
   Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Visual Basic Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) does not automatically
include or prompt the user about whether an ActiveX control's License
should be included in a distribution set.

RESOLUTION
==========

If the License for an ActiveX control developed in Visual Basic is to be
included in a distribution set, the License must be added manually through
the Package and Deployment Wizard. The appropriate VBL file must be
included in the distribution and the setup needs to know to register the
VBL file on the target machine.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.

RESOLUTION
==========
