What to copy setup1 form + Study code
i was wanting to learn how this setup1 form worked? a few questions, 1) were do i find it and how to copy safely to a project by itself? i ask because i don't want to do anything that might wreck my ability to deploy projects.
2) i want to run this by itself. can i do this?
3) i want to see code inside; ie when the button is pushed to deploy the app. i want to see the code that launches the program and files? where do i look? thanks guys:)
i'm trying to learn how this stuff works without wrecking my setup.exe file:confused:

Look under the location where you installed VB. the code for PDW is there in one of the folders.

if i copy this setup1 form into a small app, will it run itself?:confused: :confused:
where in this form is the code that launches my project?:confused: thanks
Re: What to copy setup1 form + Study code
I have no clue about the code I just know where it is. The part you want is probably in the setup1.exe file and it's not VB... and there is no source code for it.

The PDW will produce 3 files for you and a folder, you need to use the 3 files install your app
YourApp.cab
setup.exe
Setup.lst
You can click setup.exe to install your app
