Catch reference error how?Hi there,
I've got a Windows project with references to an ocx file. When I run the executable and the referenced ocx isn't available I get a Windows error. How can I trip a reference error so that I can display a readable error message?

By choosing this approach you won't have to work around about deployment problems in your own source code. -- M S Herfried K.

I do already use a MSI package but users sometimes remove the ocx/dlls which are needed. Then they get a message which realy says nothing of what is wrong at that time. I want to give a clear error message so they can call out support number with a good error message so the time to resolve the problem will be as short as possible.
