I have used VB6 Package and Deployment wizard to create standard packages. In it is some fonts that the wizard automatically copy to the correct Windows Font DIR. (nice!)

But, the computer must be restarted before the fonts are installed.

Can the wizard restart the computer, and how do you set the restart function? If not, does anybody have an idea for me to restart the pc as part of the setup?

Thanx in advance

i'm not really sure about that... p&d is really limited when it comes to this stuff... why don't you try to make your own installer package? then you can do with watever you want with your installation package

Welcome.....

To add your fonts in Package & deployment...In the 3-4 screen where you can include more files, you can add your font file. (you can copy font files to your project directory for ease). After that do remember to check/change the location in the install location.Where you can see the source & destination of all the files in grid.
These things for adding font,but for restarting computer no idea :rolleyes:

Hope this will help you,
Regards,
Champgary

I dont think system has to be restarted to install fonts, just try without restarting the system and check for the fonts.
