    Unhappy

    I am using Visual Studio 6. I have created an application that uses a database. I used the 'Deployment and Packaging Wizard' in V Studio. It created the CAB files on my hard drive. It then puts them on to floppys (8 of them). But when I test the setup program, it doesn't work!!

    It comes up with a 'missing resource file' and a 'CSLIB' error. Can anybody help? Also, I had to modify the setup.lst file and rename the CAB files to get it to even run the setup program.

    I thought this would have been the simplest part of the process, but it is proving the hardest.

    Please help.

    When creating a setup file you should have 3 core things, first is the Setup.exe then Setup.lst and then cab files. I don't think you can change the name of the cab files or the resource file...because the setup file reffers to them and if the name is different then it would give you something like "missing resource file".

    Hope that helps,
