SYMPTOMS
If you use the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to package a Visual Basic 6.0 application, when you click the Finish button to try to create the package, you receive the following error message:

Error 80010108 Automation Error.

The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

Alternatively, nothing happens when you click the Finish button.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because there is a circular dependency in the Crystal Reports dependency file. This applies to Seagate Crystal Reports version 8.5.



RESOLUTION
The Crystal Decisions Web site at http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2009024.asp states:

To resolve this error, open Crystl32.dep in Notepad or a similar text editor and modify the section:

[CRPE32.DLL]

Dest=$(WinSysPath)

Uses1=CRPE32.DLL

Uses2=

So that it reads:


 * [CRPE32.DLL]


 * Dest=$(WinSysPath)


 * Uses1=CRPE32.DLL


 * Uses2=
