Deploy VB With CR 8.5

[erickwidya]

from time to time i always use the easy way..

means everytime i need to deploy VB App..i installed the Component, dll that need in the client machine
ex: if i using ADODB 2.7x reference - i installed Office 2000
using CR 8.5 - i installed CR 8.5 and so on

of course this won't be a problem since the client machine is on area (same office)

until now..i need to deploy to other machine that i doesn't really sure what program that already installed there (Office version, CR, etc)

so how could i develop one Package setup that include file that needed to run the program without using 'the easy way'

i've been try using P&D by VB but it somehow doesn't include all file needed..

can anyone give an insight..thanks alot

erickwidya,

Using ********** combined with Inno Setup has alway automatically given me a deployable package that supports CR 8.5. If you want to see what I mean there is a free package SVC that you can try that uses CR 8.5. Look in my signature for Free VB Source Code and go to Software Version Control.

PDW will NEVER give you a complete deployable package with CR 8.5 unless you go to the runtime.hlp file that CR has and select all the files that you need for each CR object then include them in your package.
