Tks...KieferHagin, but not completly understand...Activex?

You want to have a vb6 type app in a web page?

If so you need to create it as an ActiveX Control ..
But note, this will only work in IE and also only if the visitor accepts the security risk.

See this basic example on how to create an ActiveX (same as in VB6)

Sorry for my bland answer, I was tired and about to leave.

There's at least one installation package program that can package your VB6 application to be distributed from the Web - InstallShield. I don't know what others are available. If you don't want to use something like that you'll have to write your own Web app to distribute your VB6 app.

He is in the right place. His question is about a VB6 application.

I, on the other hand, have no idea why if you wish to publish your application on the web that you would develop it in VB6.

[Al42]

Publishing and the app itself have nothing to do with one another, Hack. Would you have a problem with a novel in Spanish published on green paper, as opposed to one in English published on green paper? He wants to distribute it by having the user click on a Web link and having the app install itself on the user's computer. What difference does it make what language the app was written in? (Well, okay, .net can do it semi-internally and VB6 can't. But InstallShield has a product that installs any app from the Web.)

but youd have to pay for InstallShield I would expect.

[Al42]

Yes. As I said, I don't know whether there's any other product, free, shareware or commercial, that would do the job, I just know that InstallShield does have such a product. I would assume that they're not the only ones who have made anything like that available, since it's not that complicated a program.

You create it as an ActiveX Control instead of an Exe project.

Then you use Package & Depolyment wizard to create it into a cab file, and it gives you the object ID to embed it into your web sites HTML .. easy as 123 once you get past the ActiveX control creation part. .. the Cab file is downloaded when the user visits the web page and installs the neccassary support files, then runs the app. This only works in IE by the way.

[Al42]

I think you're talking about developing code that runs as part of the web page (client-side) and luca90 was talking about distributing an exe project by having it install from the web.

[rory]

If thats the case then just upload the Setup file and put a link to it ...

Otherwise if the browser uses embedded code to install a file on the user's PC that will always be client side; Example being an ActiveX Control Cab File. Server side is only able to install on the Server's PC/s.

He could use Inno to create the 1 single Setup.exe file and when they click on the hyperlink it download's the file then runs the setup ... otherwise with P&D he'd have to zip them up or like mentioned before, create an ActiveX Cab file..
