Reposting this message. Anyone know???
when the VB6 P&D wizard makes an installation disk set, is the installation supposed to put your program's icon onto the user's desktop?
I cant make it do this. If it doesnt do this most important step, is there code to add to the PDwizard to make it do this.?
(I have the icon appearing in the title bar of the program so that bit is OK).
i'm guessing here because i don't use vb6 but because microsoft includes the source code for the pdw in a folder, you could open the source up, discover how the pdw wizard (or rather the installation code) creates the shortcut in the start menu, and apply these to create a shortcut on the desktop (actually in the desktop folder, most commonly c:\windows\desktop). change the source (or add the line you want) and then recreate the setup. the p&d wizard will use the new source. it's a good idea to back up the original source code before you tamper with it just in case something goes wrong.
