    Question Making Setup file

    I apologize if my question seems dumb. I picked up VB today after not touching it in about a year.

    I have finished my VB6 project.

    How do I create the install/setup file for other computers?

    The easiest is probably to launch the package and deployment wizard that comes with VB. Another option is to use another installer, there are many available out there. Personally I use the free InnoSetup, it can use most everything the commersial installers can do. But there is of course a small learning curve to start using it.

    yeh use INNO it took me no time to learn how to get it work.. its simple.. but u will have to manually add ocx files and other runtime files while as package and deployment tells u the files needed by the application to run...
