Here is what I did..copy and paste your line of code...project name: Birthdays
Project exe: Birthdays.exe

Result: No Icon Appears On Desktop

Also...I got no mention of dcom95 but maybe that is because I am running 98 on my system..

Are you using VB5 or VB6??

VB6

mcrider

I don't have VB6... Just VB5... ;-)

The OSfCreateShellLink I gave you was for VB5. I believe that the arguments have changed in VB6... Search the SETUP1 project and look for the OSfCreateShellLink definition...

By the way, you opened another question to me... Let's move over there...
