This is a known problem in PDW. Use Inno (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) instead.

If you insist on using PDW then take a look at these links

Thanks ali

I have downloaded te inn set up and vb service pack 6 also. Do you prefer inn or still PDW.

I have anohter question related to this let's assume that this time the installation goes fine and user can user the application, After that if he reques the changes and I made the changes Can I just copy the EXE file only some where in the system and it will act as a new version or I have to make the set up all new again every time I make chages in application. If it is possible then where should i copy the exe file.

Thanks aliYou are welcome. :) And please use only one color when you post.

I have downloaded te inn set up and vb service pack 6 also. Do you prefer inn or still PDW.I don't create setup packages as such, however from what I have heard and seen is that Inno is far more better than PDW.

I have anohter question related to this let's assume that this time the installation goes fine and user can user the application, After that if he reques the changes and I made the changes Can I just copy the EXE file only some where in the system and it will act as a new version or I have to make the set up all new again every time I make chages in application. If it is possible then where should i copy the exe file.If you don't add any more references to your exe during modification then you can just copy the EXE over. Also even if you add references you can still copy the exe and the related DLL/OCX files.

Does this answer your question?

However, I would still make a new installation package with the new .Exe...that way, if you have more people that want to use it, your installation package will be ready to go and will contain the latest and greatest version of your software.

Please help me as I can not install my application now!

Did you include this file in your Inno Setup Script? What does your script look like? Did you use ********** to create you script or the Inno Setup Wizard. The Inno Setup Wizard is not thourough enough...

[Jaspinder]

Thanks for your reply I have also visited the intalltion notes for vb.

I am very new to inno setup and I used it in rush using the wizard. is there any special way of creating set up using inno. To be honest I have no idea how to create a set up file in inno and how to include the files you need. I just clickd on new and then next next and so on. At the end i got nothing but disappointment.

Can you help me please Is there any link that tells me how to create a setup file using inno and most important for me is how to add the files you need in the setup..

I cannot install my applicatoin that is not good for me.

Look in my signature for ********** it will creat the script for you automatically from your vbp file. It WILL find all the dependency files for you and you will just have to add any additional files that you have created or need to the script such as database, text and doc files. It's free for three days...

Thanks guys it will be sorted hopefully now.
