vb4 (16-bits) runtime error '20001'
I have create an application using VB4 (16-bits)and generated a setup files using VB4 (16-bits) application setup wizard and copy those files to a disk.
Then I install that application into another pc and when
I click on AAA.exe, it will pop up a dialog that says,
"runtime error '20001' without any description.
Then I try to click on the AAA.exe again, the same runtime
error code still exist except that it will print out some garbage characters as well.
If I run this application on the development pc, there won't be any runtime error '20001'
Can anyone help me on this.

The problem is solved when I change that pc into the
development pc. This runtime error will only occur at the non-development pc.
After tracing each line in the form load using msgbox "test",
the runtime error occur when I tried to assign the DirList.path
During Form_Load, I have assign DirList.path = c:\AAA\test
and this AAA\test directory is already created.
so, what is the problem? This DirList, is it part of the Microsoft Common Dialog (comdlg16.ocx since it is a 16 bit)?

MS documentation knows three cases of runtime error 20001. Two of them are connected to Access 2 (DB engine version in VB4/16) and one to RAS service on Windows NT 3.x.
One of those concerning Access 2 also involves SQL server (actually accessing SQL server from Access Basic code), so I make a wild guess, that in your case the error code means
JET_errREPSetRepid -20001 users can't change the rep ID
So this hints that you are replicating a database or your program thinks that you are replicating it (you can never be 100 % sure that the error reported is the actual error) and doing an illegal operation on it.
If it happens to be so that you are trying to use RAS services, then the error code means
RAS EVENT ID: 20001 SYMBOL NAME : RASLOG_CANT_LOAD_NBGATEWAY
So please provide some more info.

The application setup files was created using the VB 16 Application Setup Wizard - 16 bit.
I have tried to use InstallShield to create the setup files, but
the same runtime error '20001' still occur.
And this application is not using Access 2 (DB engine version in
VB4/16) or RAS service on Windows NT 3.x.
Any other help/hints will be grateful.

Error 20001 is a user defined error. Could be cause by a custom control or your app if you raise any errors.
What's going on in your code when the error occurs?
