    Question for Inno Setup [RESOLVED]

    If I want to do an installation CD for a VB application. Do I have to put a folder on the CD with the .exe and all the ocx and dll or is it compressed in the Setup.exe ?

    Everything referenced in the Inno script is compressed into the setup exe.

    It is compressed into the exe if you tell it to do it (add it in the script).

    Also, you should have posted this in the Application Deployment forum.

    It is still a good idea to put everything your program needs in a folder on the CD just in case people have problems.
    Also, look into autorun for making it so your setup is run as soon as your CD is inserted into the drive.

    The autorun as been discussed a day ago. Look in the Deployment forum or search for 'Autorun.ini'

    Gensor,

    No, you do not need to add all the extra files to the CD. They are included in the setup.exe file
