Distribute a program

[sanon]

I developed an application that called an object on the server side (MTS and COM stuffs). My problem is how can I distribute my application to other machines. Do I have to set up something special? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Ok, here is my situation:

I created xxx.dll and put it into MTS on NT4 server and then I developed a test program, let say Project1, that used xxx.dll file. Everything worked fine on my machine (developing machine). Therefore, I compiled it into Project1.exe and made a package in order for distributing to other machines. Once, I installed that package, and executed the program, it didn't work because something about MTS. So, I want to know that do I have to do any specific things to make a distribute package or do something and make my program work properly in every platform, such as Win2000/98/NT.

Umm i dont know i wish i did because im about to make a project like that , so if it truns out good e-mail me

Use Package & Deployment Wizard.
To run it:
Start/Programs/Visual Studio/Visual Studio tools/Package & Deployment Wizard.
It connect all files into setup.exe. There are many options that can be helpful.
Hope it is the answer on your q-n.

Thanks.

Hi BoB,

I could distribute my application. When you finish installing the application, you have to install a COM package which is created by Export in MTS Explorer as well in order to let the client knows where is the object is located.

Thanks for you guys response..
