    Resolved [RESOLVED] Application files for deployment

    Hi,

    I'm now ready to turn-over my first VB6 application. May I know what file extensions I have to include in the installation CD? I have .frm, .frx, .drs, drx, .DCA (what's this) and of course the .exe and the .mdb file extensions.

    Also, do you have any idea on how to create an auto installation program to the client?

    Thanks in advance.

    You should check out the Application Deployment forums FAQ for a listing of a few installers. You need to compile your program first into an .exe file. Then the packing program can pack the exe and all of its dependancy files for you.

    The P&D Wizard is a good starting point as its the easiest to use.
