Package / Deploy Wizard

[kingd9]

If you add the database to you project, by default, the PDW puts it in the application path. If you know where you want it to go, then you can create the package and then edit the setup.lst
Look for this heading
[Setup1 Files]
and there will be an entry with your database name
File1=@databasename.mdb,$(AppPath),,,3/8/00 11:31:36
and change to
File1=@databasename.mdb,c:\databasedir,,,3/8/00 11:31:36 AM,1871872,0.0.0.0
hope this helps

How do you add the MDB file to your project so it will be included with the P/D wizard (by default)?

[JHausmann]

In the wizards directory, you can get access to the PDWizard's setup1.exe project...

The 4th dialog box in the P&D Wizard will ask you to add any files. . . add the mdb there.

Then in the next dialog box (or the one after that) will show you the Start Menu Tree.

Go into Edit or Add New (can't recall which it says), and add that component into the Start Menu where you want it.

Clunie can best answer but I think he was asking how to change the default list of files (so a particular file will always be in the list, without having to add it to every project...)

Why wouldn't you just add it manually once, then save that template as your "plain vanilla" packaging script?

[JHausmann]

Generally we use the .vbp project file for each project, to generate each project's .swt file. It's easier to modify and ship a revised setup1.

Don't know what Clunie does...
