I've been off this newsgroup for quite a while, so maybe
this problem is already known to you all, but it was new to me.

After installing SP1 of Windows7 I compiled a new exe for
one of my customers and uploaded it to them. They reported
immediately a runtime error: "Class does not support automation
or does not support selected interface”.
On my PC everything just ran fine.

After googling for a day I found out that the problem was
caused by SP1 of Windows7. It has to do with early or late
binding and a good reference is KB976932.

I simply uninstalled SP1 and now my exe's are usable by
my customers again.

Although I find that MS does a good job making a SP that
can be uninstalled, I am quite worried that SP's can be that
hazardous and that I must go along without SP's for Windows7.
Bert.
