comonDialog problem, preparing to install

Need help from the group.

I have a few routines that use the CommonDialog to add flexibility to the
routines. My problem is that when I launch these programs I get a preparing
installing civil 3D at my home machine and at work it try's to load another
program. I can or not know if there is a way to stop this or can I trap
this. I never had a problem with this before as I was using NT but having
switched to xp I now get this error.

Any ideas

Thank you for any comments or direction

Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

' empty the filename in the dialog box
CommonDialog1.FileName = ""
CommonDialog1.MaxFileSize = 32000
CommonDialog1.Filter = "Drawing Files (*.dwg)|*.dwg"
CommonDialog1.DefaultExt = "*.dwg"
CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 1
CommonDialog1.DialogTitle = "Select Drawing"
' Set Cancel to True.
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
TextBox5.Text = CommonDialog1.FileName


Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
' User pressed Cancel button.

Exit Sub

End Sub

 

I don't have an answer, but if it makes you feel any better, you're not the
only one with that problem.
Every time I search any ACAD help file, it tries to install Autodesk
Building Systems (I've got LDT5, ADT5 & ABS5 installed).

I wish I knew why it did this...

I don't remember the specifics, but there was a patch for Microsoft's MSI
which is the root of your problem. Check either Microsoft's downloads or
search adesk's site [I think they had a link to the MS patch at one time]

Is the patch applied to the MSI itself or the to the individual computers?
In other words, would we have to re-deploy the software to get rid of the
install messages??

Matt, Mike,

Thanks for the insight. I'll check for the patch. If I find one I post back
here.

The patch was for MSI on each individual computer.
