VB6 Installation

[Muzza]

Does anyone know how to include a licence agreement form which the installer has to agree to within the standard VB6 wizard which Microsoft so loving supply us with? Or do I have to create my own installation program from scratch and guess which dlls and ocxs have to be installed and whihc ones are self-registering... etc. etc. etc. Thanks.

I don't know about VB6, but in VB5 you can open the SETUP1.VBP project from the VB directory and change it how you wish - it's pretty well documented. Then, when you create the .EXE you need compress it using the COMPRESS command in a DOS prompt (this changes it to SETUP1.EX_) which you can then copy to your distribution files.

Tip - run the setup wizard once 'normally' to compress the correct DLLs OCXs etc. Then overwrite SETUP1.EX_ with the one you have made as above.
