Hi,

I have recently converted a .net 1.1 web application project into a .net 2.0 web application. It compiles without errors, but when I run it in the browser, I get the following error:

The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Can anybody help please

Hi, a Visual Basic 2005 project was saved on a USB memory. Then it was copied to the hard disk. When trying to open the project from the hard disk, it is not possible to load some forms and this is the message that appears:

Errores al cargar el disenador. Los errores se citan a continuacion. Algunos errores se pueden corregir volviendo a generar el proyecto, otros puede que requieran cambios en el codigo.

When introducing again the USB memory, it's possible to work again from the hard disk, but when trying to remove the USB memory, it's not possible until you close the Visual Basic project because it says that the storage device is being used. So, it's possible to work from the hard disk only when the USB memory is inside, even when the whole project was copied and pasted from the USB to the hard disk. How can you make a project created in a USB memory to work independently on your hard disk without the necessity or dependency on the USB memory Please help and write to jaimemontoya@gmail.com is you get to find a solution. Bye.

In the end it wasn't a DLL that was missing.

It was a .net 1.1 version of a DLL I was using that caused the problem. I replaced this DLL with the latest .Net 2.0 version.

If the problems continues, try putting again the ocx files on C, Windows, system32, if you used ocx.
Si el problema continua, trata de poner nuevamente los archivos ocx en c, Windows, system32, si usaste ocx.

That's a pretty generic error message for "I tried to load a DLL to execute some code in it but I couldn't find the DLL". The stack trace should give you some idea what DLL that might be. It could be a .NET assembly that you forgot to put in the GAC or it could be a DLL that you P/Invoked...
