Deploying ADO, ADOX, Windows Common Controls

Well I haven't really packaged any apps before and actually have to make it work (not just monkeying around and testing), so I don't know what I need and where I need to put it...

I have seen Inno Setup a bit so I want to use it. Now, it's a VB6 app (so I'll need the runtimes I assume), in the Components I have checked the "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6)", in the references I have checked the "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library" and "Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DLL and Security" (and the 4 standard checked ones). What do I need to add? Any sample Inno examples for me to see?

Thanks :)

manavo11,

Use ********** in my signature to create the script for Inno Setup. It will find all the dependencies for you.

Hmmm, you have to pay for it now? I remember it was free :D

What one of my concerns is where do I find the files? I read in the Inno website that I should distribute dlls and ocxs from my PC. Where do I find the files? :(

manavo11,

Did you READ the post????

I READ it but I haven't downloaded it yet to know exactly what it does... Does it find the files on my PC? Online? Are they packaged with **********? Will aliens deploy them for me? I can't really know what "will find" means, it's kind of general :) No offence :)

manavo11,

Well, It will find the names of the dependencies that are needed in your app and will then search your search path for the files. It may not find some of them due to being in SAFE MODE or the files not being in your search path.

It will then create your Inno Setup Script with these references.

My responses may be slow... I am not getting emails from VBF.

I tried it, and it found the files here : "d:\program files\common files\system\ado" and it puts those in the setup... In the inno setup it says that I shouldn't distribute them :( Where would I find other versions?

manavo11,

Well, the instruction state that you should copy files that you need to deploy from the system folder to another folder and point to those folder so that Inno Setup will not complain. The reason for this is to alert you to the fact that you need to do some research on why you may or may not deploy those files.
