[RESOLVED] Installation

[whythetorment]

hi ive made my .exe file, and made my installation file using innosetup and included the following files. in C:\FaBMan\*" ive got all my forms and reports ive made.

ive tried only including the .exe file in my setup but then the (database) program doesnt work. what's actually the right way to make the .exe file and setup file coz when i install the program on other computers it shows the forms ive created and the reports, and if that computer has vb on it, then anyone can just go and look at my source code? im not sure how to do this


Source: "C:\FaBMan\FaBMan.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
Source: "C:\FaBMan\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs


thanx for any help

You do not need to distribute your code files (vbp/frm/bas/cls/ctl/....), only the compiled versions (exe/dll/ocx/..), and any other files which your program requires.

The required files can obviously by project (databases, report files, ini files, etc), but you always need to have the VB runtimes (various dll's and ocx's).

I'm afraid I have no idea how to specify the VB runtimes for InnoSetup (all installers I've used before have known already).
