[Resolved] Making a Launcher App (Win98 and up)

[luso2kx]

Ok, I have my Setup application all set, and my app in itself all set. Now I want to create an Autorun launcher application where I pop up a little window with the buttons: Run, Install/Uninstall and Exit. You know, to give a more personal touch to the application in itself. Also, this app will be on a CD since this will be for resell.

Now, I've already resolved the app detection issue where I check to see if the app is installed or not (this will dictate the status of the "Run" button). HOWEVER, I now have another issue. For me to run this launcher, I need to register the msvbvm60.dll on the machine (this being a bare-bones Win98SE machine). Now, seeing that this app will be distributed to clientes who barely know how to turn on a computer, let alone run regsvr32, I need to find a way to register msvbvm60.dll on the client's machine, then run the launcher.

I've tried running a BAT file but, since I have lost most of my BAT writing abilities over the years, I don't seem to be able to close the annoying DOS window that pops up.

What I'm looking for is a way to register the dll automatically then run the launcher, and if possible, not have that disgusting DOS window pop up.

Does anyone here know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
