I have a problem. I want to create a DLL in Visual Basic 2005 functional for every version of Windows. My problem is, if I create the DLL in Windows Vista, it only works for Vista. If I create it in XP, it only works for XP.

I use the following steps for creating the DLL:

I guess this is because Microsoft don't care too much about Visual Basic, not anymore. Really, more and more features are left behind -- for a good reason. Just a thought...

I haven't had the OS specific problem that you mention. However, I would not build a COM DLL. I would forget about the COM Class and just put your code in a regular class file. COM is not necessary with .NET

Can you please give me a brief example of how to do it. I remember I tried to use a regular class file once, but I didn't know how to tell VB to Build a DLL out of it.
I would really appreciate your help.
