    Installing App for several users

    I need to know how to install a vb app so that it will be present regardless of the login name.

    For example:
    when you install Microsoft Word, no matter who you login as the program is available.

    However with my app. If i install it, it will only install under that user's name and not where every person who logins into the c computer can see it.

    If you can't tell me how to do it, maybe you can tell me what it is called to i can look into it.

    Thanks!

    What OS are you installing this to? Usually when you install a program it wil prompt you with a choice to install for just yourself or all users. This is for XP and I am not 100% sure but not for 2000.

    What is your packing program?

    It is Windows XP.

    I've never seen or noticed the prompt though.

    If you install the program via the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs applette it should do the prompt.
