    Resolved [RESOLVED] Install Files

    Hello....
    Trying to deploy my program and I need to know how to include other files in the install. For example I have my main code, but then I have several pre-made Excel graphs that I need to be installed in App.Path & "\Database\". How do I have the install wizard create this folder and install my graph files there, while still installing the main program into App.Path?

    ...Seems like I'm missing something simple here
    FCC Section 97.313(a) “At all times, an amateur station must use the minimum transmitter power necessary to carry out the desired communications.”

    I'd rather run a "Killer-Watt" than a KiloWatt - QRP Rules!!!

    Re: Install Files

    Thread moved from "VB6 and Earlier" forum to "Application Deployment" forum (which is where questions about installing/distributing your software belong)

    It depends on which installation maker you are using. Depending on which one it is, you may find documentation in the FAQs at the top of this forum.


    Note that if the files are not just read-only, you should not be storing them in app.path, but in a folder like AppData instead.
