Why am I Getting an Automation Error When Creating a VB .exe File?

An automation error with the message "Unexpected Error number 80004005" occurs when creating a VB .exe file, indicating an unspecified issue. To troubleshoot, it's recommended to start a new, simple project unrelated to the original one and attempt to create an EXE from that. This approach helps isolate the problem and determine if it persists in a basic context. If the error does not occur in the simple project, it may point to specific issues within the original code. Testing in this manner can help identify and resolve the underlying cause of the automation error.

Hi,

I am writing a communication test program, and it works very well. However, as I try to create a .exe (standalone) file, an error message appeared:

"Unexpected Error number 80004005 has occured: Automation error. Unspecified error"

Any help will be appreciated!

Start a new project. Make something simple that has nothing to do with the project in question. Try making an EXE. See if the problem occurs in the even this simplest test. Then work your way up.
