    making a setup package

    Hi there,

    I've finished a Vb project and want to distribute it now.. So I want to make a installer. Or I need an installer which can do the following:

    - Place a file in a certain directory and execute it
    - after that a second application must be launched

    This is the first time I'm gonna make a install file, so I need some help with it.
    Hope someone is willing to help

    Well, you could achieve the first part by placing a shortcut for your program in the Windows "Startup" folder (not sure about other operating systems).

    For the second part you could possibly do it by using the shellexecute (or equivalent) code on form_load.
    when you quote a post could you please do it via the "Reply With Quote" button or if it multiple post click the "''+" button then "Reply With Quote" button.
    If this thread is finished with please mark it "Resolved" by selecting "Mark thread resolved" from the "Thread tools" drop-down menu.
