Installer

[wizzard]

Hi,

I'm looking for a installer. I have made a cdrom with files and i want when the users press install on the cd they can choose a map where they want to install the folder. Like folder Music if they choose harddisk c: it copys the map from the cdrom to the hd c:.

I'm not a good programmer does someone knows in here such a tool or how i can make this?


Cheers
Kris

Hi,

Any installer have this capability. Most common one is Installshield. But you can use other like Wise installer ot the Microsoft Installer which come with Visual Studio.Net

to look at the most used ones , search in VB6 Forum , you'll get list of installers provided with download links .

Give INNO Setup 3 a try. It is free and works great! Strangely enough, I packaged a simple program I did in VB.NET with the deployment tools in VB and it sized out at over 3meg. Using INNO and just packaging the .exe file from the bin folder and a few other needed files the size of the final install program was only 261kb.

Go figure!

I think this is because the installer that comes with VS.NET adds some files and updates to update target machines if they have 1.5 v to 2.00 and this ofcourse has nothing to do with your app being packed .
