If you don't like the way Package & Deployment Wizard works, you can use a different program - like Install Shield, or one of the others listed in the FAQ at the top of this forum.

Most of the popular packaging programs have support for VB6 programs, but as VB6 is old you may find that you need to use older versions of the packaging program.

whenver i make it as a setup using default Package and deployment and run from exe of this application it is giving run time error as
Runtime error : 2147206460 (80043ac4)
Invalid directory
details : error


even if i used another setup format Inno setup also getting same error.

if i use another third format which is wise installation system9.0 then while creating setup file itself it is giving error as

" the following dependency files are referenced in the project file but cannot be located on your computer.If files are located in different directory you can copy into system or system32 directory."

in check boxes following dependency files it is showing

controldprj.dep
crviewer9.dep
mshflxgd.dep
scpbuttons.dep

i have searched for this files in system none of them were there and even on inernet also i didnt find.

how to fix this problem

Well I'm afraid you need to find those files, as they specify what extra files also need to be distributed (I would assume the error from P&DW etc is because they can't find the .dep files).

I'm very surprised that they aren't on you computer, as they should have been installed by the appropriate software (mshflxgd.dep by VB [and service packs for it], crviewer9.dep by Crystal Reports, and I don't recognise the others).

If you (re-)install VB SP6 (which you can get from the Microsoft web site), you should get at least the mshflxgd.dep file.
