Packing up and distributing VB6....?
Does anyone have any opinions out there on the best utility to pack up a VB6 distributable? Sorry if this has been asked before.
My program has tons of wav, mp3, gifs, in various subfolders. I'm looking for ways to pack all this into a self-extracting VB6 file.
This program is too far gone to convert up to VB.NET, it would be way too much work for its purpose............thanks much

Any installation package, including P&DW or Inno will package up the exe and all related dependency and runtime files.
However, the other files that you mentioned you would have to add to the installation setup yourself and indicate to the installer where these files should be placed.

Wow, such hostility.
You VB6 programmers are like firebrands.
Well, I will check into P&DW or Inno (licking wounds). Thanks! :wave:

The sticky FAQ thread at teh top of the Application Deployment forum (where this thread is located) contains a listing of some packagers/installers and their links. :)
