Hi!

I have to produce a DOS batch file to install my VB project. It must run with no user intervention. It has to install the .exe file, a bunch of data files, and all the .dll`s and .ocxs etc into the correct place.

My project was created on 9x, but must be installed on an NT system. I have no idea how to go about this!

Usually i would use the Package and Deployment thingy, which seems to work ok, but definately requires user intervention. Mainly of the `this file is older than an existing file - keep existing file` form.

How would i make this check myself?

Also, it appears that .dll`s need registering on an NT system, whereas on a 9x system you just copy them into windows/system. Am i right in thinking that this means i can put the .dll`s where i want, and that the registering system (using RegSvr32) lets NT know where it is? It would be better for me to do that, as then there would be no problems with me accidentally overwriting NT system dlls, assuming they share the same names. But you dont register .oxc`s , do you? So where should they go?

Are there any websites that cover this sort of thing? Or can the Package and Deployment program be made to run without any intervention? If so, would it know to register the dlls after detecting it was being installed on an NT system!

Basically, HELP!!!!

Thanks,
Alex.
