Visual Studio Installer

[gravyboy]

I am writing a suite of apps in VB6 on W2K . . . . the target machine is an XP beast with SP1 . . .

When I use the VSI and the use the output to install the app. there is a problem with the COMDLG32 ocx.... I had a look and XP's is 6.00.2800 xpsp1 and Window 2000 machine is 6.00.8414.

When I run the app. I get bumf about comdlg not being registered...I don't really want to overwrite the XP one, unless I have to... If so how do I get the VSI to register the ocx as part of the install....?

try this ... delete the reference to comdlg32 in your install project. Add the merge module comdlg32.msm (its in the visual studio directory tree somewhere ... search for it) to your install. The merge module should sort the issue out for you I think.
