I am attempting to run an application that was developed in VB6.0,
which is located on a network drive, from a workstation with Window XP
service pack 2 installed. The folder that the .exe file is located in
has been mapped and is visible through Windows Explorer. My problem is
when I attempt to click on the application, I get an error message
saying "Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Could not lock file".
There are three stations that use this same executable with Windows
2000 installed that can run this file at the same time. Now that I am
trying to run a fourth machine with XP, I get a 'could not lock file
error'. I know this arrangement is unorthodox, but it makes managing
software upgrades on the network much easier and I want to avoid
installing the application on each computer if I can avoid it.
Is there some was to set XP to handle the application .exe in the same
way as Windows 2000?
Thanks,
