Converting VB6 install cab with MSI

[Nethvester]

I have a legacy VB6 application that recently required changes. After testing completed I created used the visual Studio 6 Tools' Package and Deployment wizard to create an Installation Cab file for use by setup.exe.

Now i have been told that network wants a .msi file since they can "double click" it once and not have to click thier way through a series of "confirm" messages. Problem is I have no idea how to creat this. When I create an install package for my .net projects it builds a .msi file but to run it I still have to have the setup.exe and I still get asked to confirm the insalation location.

Does anyone out here have an idea how to create a .msi for vb6 projects? I'm not allowed to buy any new deployment software since we have vs6 and vb.net 1.1 perfessionals already.

Welcome to the forums.

Either InstallShield or Wise uses msi files (if memory serves)

At any rate, I would ask network how would I create the msi file that they want. If they need this, then they have to be fairly certain you have the tools to make it. So, maybe you do and you just don't know it.

To install silently you must check for the switches needed to do that. Most any decent install package does this, not just Windows Installer...

You don't actually need msi files...
