I am using an ActiveX control that edits video files. I am building an application that combines all the short clips that I take into a single video file. The application works fine (both in labview and as an .exe) on my development computer. However when I install the application on an another computer I get a crash screen, see attached.
I should also say that I created this application in the past using an older version of the ActiveX control and I have no problems. The reason for the upgrade is to be able to handle color videos.
I have used the ActiveX developers installation package (which is all I did on my devopment computer), so I think all the require files and registrations are occurring.
I have not upload my code, because I cannot figure out how to attach all the required files. So I am hoping someone can look at the errors I am getting and maybe give me some insight as to what I should be looking for.
Thanks

The only clue there is that it's an Access Violation and it happens in "MSVCR71".
"MSVCR71" is the "Microsoft Visual C Runtime" library version 7.1. You could see if you can update/repair that...
"Access violation" just means some piece of software is trying to access memory it's not allows to access. Usually this is just a null pointer, which happens somewhere in the binary code of either LabVIEW or a 3rd party addon, such as your ActiveX video stuff. Not a lot you can do about that unless you can find something in LabVIEW that passes a null reference into the ActiveX nodes.

You response helped guide me through the process and I was able to find an ActiveX method prior to the failure point was causing the problem
