hiya all,

I'm making an email program for a small company that will install a catalogue on the person’s computer when run.

I have the catalogue zipped in a self-extracting zip file that will install the catalogue in the right directory, then I make the vb6 program run that self extracting zip file as well as creating an icon on the desktop to run that catalogue.

I got the vb6 exe, the self extracting zip file and the dll's needed to run the program and again zip all that in a self extracting zip file that would run the program.

Now this system works well for windows 98 and above, but this method will not work win win95.
Is there a way of running a vb6 program file without having to go though updating the windows files (like when vb6 makes a installation package)??????

Please any ideas should be good.

P.S. my current method of placing a shortcut on the desktop doesn’t let me add an icon to it, does anyone know how to do that too??

Thank you for your time and help.
