Installer

Hi

Im looking into makin my own installer i just need some pointers on how to do it so far i have thought of the different parts of the installer

copies files to a directory
creates shortcuts and adds to start menu
registers any file types that are specific to the program
registers itself with windows (how do i do that)

have i missed any thing off

Check if install directory exists
Check if file exists
Prompt to overwrite (especially if newer version exists)
Set registry keys
Automate path to system directory (different for 95/98/Me than NT/2000)
Automate path to Windows directory (different for 95/98/Me than NT/2000)
Create Desktop Icons
Create QuickLauch Icons
Register .dll, .ocx, & other files
Add program to program groups
Create an Uninstall (A must!)
Run app after install (User's option)
Enumerate system & network drives
Install fonts (if needed)

I'm sure there's plenty I'm missing, but that list should keep you busy for a while :p

Some computers do not have the VB Runtime Files already installed. If this was the case for a user, then they would not be able to run the setup. Just letting you know...

You can edit the Setup1.vbp file however you want. It already has the coding done for you.
