    how to make setup file for vb6 Application

    i already have made setup file from "Package and deployment wizard" available in visual studio but when i install the application to any next computer it does not work properly. i mean aplication instalation completed but when i run the application it partially work. it does not work for printing options available in the application.

    Is there any other way to make setup file. Apart from "Packag and deployment wizard". Please help.

    Thanks and best regards.

    Does it sends an error message in printing options?

    There are other tools but the PD wizard should do just fine. Most likely there is either something in the code that works only on the development machine or there was something not included in the setup package.

    Give us a bit of info on these printing options you are talking about and what you mean by not working and maybe we can help.

    The last time I used InstallShield has been a few versions ago but it was considerlby harder to create a working install than with the PD Wizard.

    More likely it is not the fault of the package tool but either missing item or bad code.
