'Installation problem after Setup' please..

[adj]

dear friend,
i have a project VB6+Access on stand alone machine.
i prepared a setup auto run CD also for the said project.
when i going to install it on maching which is not having VB6, is installing correctly but the problem is it gives number of run time error and also error about OCX file not found etc.

1) so i wants the guidance that how to prepare such type of VB project setup which can run the application on machine without VB6 ?
2) how to add some additional special data entry screen in the setup / in the LST file ? at which exact point ? (say licence form, manager information , some master infor etc. screens)

waiting for valuable guidance please.

ADJ

Did you use the Package and Deployment Wizard to create your setup package? I have never had a program not install after I used it.

Which file is not found? You can manually copy and paste it until the app runs. Also, add the files that are missing to the setup.lst file so it gets added in the future. Are you using Crystal Reports by any chance? Those are harder to package. You may also want to download the VB6 runtime files that you can include to eliminate a lot of these problems.

I hope this helps

You might want to try Inno Setup to package your installation. ********** can scan your vbp file and gather all the files that you need for your project (excluding databases and things like this). But you can just add them and it will create a script for Inno Setup that you can compile and deploy your app.

If the OCX is part of your app, ********** will find it.
