Hi all,

I have encountered more deployment issues and I'm thinking of ditching the p&d wizard. The reason I say this is because I have tested my vb6 program on every computer I know (friends, family etc) but then I sent my program to another friend and instantly he gets an error "Please insert disk 1" during the P&D setup. I'm pretty sure I selected "single cab" not multiple cab this error shouldn't have happened. Anyway, I found out I could double click the support folder the p&d wizard makes and double click my application file...presto, my program works...all I need to do is register the .dlls (when the VB6 program starts instead of running the p&d wizard. I guess this is bad programming practice. I'm not confident using the p&d wizard because no matter what I do, I get errors from different machines. Can someone please look at my .LST file and check it. I don't want to use another installer because it may open up another "can of worms". The P&D wizard is very useful and recommended to be used, I just want my program to install without problems every time for my users.

I realise this isn't "code", I wanted to present it differently.

Code:
[Bootstrap]
SetupTitle=Install
SetupText=Copying Files, please stand by.
CabFile=Client Master.CAB
Spawn=Setup1.exe
Uninstal=st6unst.exe
TmpDir=msftqws.pdw
Cabs=1
