How to run Data Report without installing VB

[systech44]

Hello,

I developed a software using VB 6.0, MS Access and Data Report. After completion of the development I put .exe file, .mdb database and .dsr report in a separate folder and try to run from a computer whether nothing of these three is present. .exe file run, but data report is not opening. How do I run it in this computer. Please help.

Thanks a lot in advance.

you need a proper installation package for your application

Hi westconn1, thanks for the reply. Can you please let me know where from I get a free installation package ? Please help.

You already have one. It comes with VB6. It is called the Package And Deployment Wizard.

Another populare one is called Inno (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php)

and here is where you can download windows installer 1.1, the replacement for the PDW http://web.archive.org/web/20080513102621/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718352.aspx
