    Resolved [RESOLVED] Install package without executable?

    I need my program to work over a network and the error i get is that the computer reading the exe over the network doesn't have the component (eg. msflexgrid)

    is there anyway i can make an install package with no executable but just installs the components to the correct place??

    failing that how can i place the components in the computer manually??

    thanks

    hmm...
    Do you mean that you want to make an installer to install and register dll's / ocx's?

    Your better off making a installation package. This is easily done using any number of packaging software r the free P&D Wizard that comes with VS 6. check out the Application deployment forum's FAQ for a good listing.

    I like to use Setup2Go for my installers, it's easy to use & gives you lots of options (in your case you can make it do a 'silent install' so that it just installs & registers the dlls/ocxs you select. It also combines it all into 1 compressed file
