Hi, Is it possible to display an RTF (rich text file) e.g. license agreement, then ask user to click on "I agree" or "I disagree" button in the installation program (e.g. setup.exe) created by the Package & Dep Wizard? Thanks.

Thread moved to Application Deployment forum (which is for questions about installing/distributing your software)
There is nothing built into PDW for this. It would have to be done by modifying (creating a customized) Setup1. You starting point would be the source code for this found under the PDW folder, example:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\Setup1
The VB6 documentation briefly describes how to work with this source to create and use a custom Setup1.
Alternatively you might use Visual Studio Installer 1.1, the packager Microsoft introduced in about 2000 to replace VSI 1.0, which was introduced around 1999 to replace PDW. Later versions do not support VB6 directly.
VSI 1.1 has a built in provision for a License Agreement dialog panel that accepts an RTF file.
Beyond this you have numerous 3rd party options.
