    Talking Mysql/ODBC Installer

    Hi,

    I will need to make an install pack for my vb.net app that includes the mysql ODBC driver. I know about Wise - they support it, but my budget would appreciate if I could find something cheaper.

    Does anybody know a good installpack maker out there that supports this?

    It would be great if it also was easy to use or even idiot proof (as yours truly sometimes is one). But I don't mind learning if this means I can save lots!

    Thanks!!

    Stephanie

    hmmmm.....just wondering....

    can I use the package and deployment wizard to wrap up the mysql OSBC driver for me (and install it)? This would be cheaper I suppose.....

    people always do the install packs for me, so this is a first

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    Try "Visual Studio Installer" (on the VB Cd, and probably on the M$ Web site somewhere), or "InnoSetup".

    Both are free, and both (as well as others) are recommended by several people on this forum.
