Tough Installation Question

[ebrown6524]

I have about 100 users using vb5 app. How do I get all the new vb6 drivers to their pcs without totaly uninstalling old app and reinstalling the new app. Is it possible to write a program that would update all of their ocx and dll files to the new version and then copy down the exe file from the network. Please help

I haven't tried this, but you might create an empty VB6 project. Put one of each control on it and then build a distribution package (for this dummy application). Installing the program on all systems (remember to remove the options to create icons,links on the start menu etc.) should bring everything up to date.

Like I said, I haven't tried it myself, and I'm sure there is a more elegant way of doing it. Anyone else have any ideas?

Cheers,
