MS Installer: where to d/load it?
I need to try making an installation/deployment package for my VB6 program using MS Installer,
as I am having trouble with the PDW. (The 'cannot upgrade DLL" problem)
Where can I find the Installer ?
What is the program filename?
I have Visual Studio 2008 , is it in there?
Re: MS Installer: where to d/load it?
You may want to post in the deployment form: http://www.vbforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=72
anyway:
In the vb6 ide
Addins>
Addins manager>
Package and deployment wizard

I have been using the PDW in VB6.
I now want to use the Windows Installer instead
Re: MS Installer: where to d/load it?
You've waited just a little too long. Microsoft pulled this download a few months ago.
You can look here for a possible "last gasp" method of obtaining it though:

You might well be able to use the "installer project" type in VS 2008 for packaging VB6 programs. However you would need VS 2008 Standard or above, not the stripped down Express product.

Thanks dilettante , but the files on that web site dont download either.
(mozilla says they are d/loading, but no file is produced!)
Has Anyone got the Installer install files?
Re: MS Installer: where to d/load it?
I have d/loaded the MS Installer from the web site (my security was blocking it), and
run the two setup.exe files It says it has installed OK.
How do I run the installer program? I can't find any relevant programs on my machine.
Re: MS Installer: where to d/load it?
It should show in your Start Menu:
Code:
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0|
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Tools|
Visual Studio Installer
Re: MS Installer: where to d/load it?
Yes I have run that.
It does not let me load VB6 .vbp projects..
how can I use it to make an installer for my VB6 program?
