    How to install

    I just finished a VB6 application and went to install it on another computer. But it is asking me about different components to install before it could be run.

    My question is to how to make the INSTALL package for my application. Any and all the help is greatly appreciated. I am very greatfull to everyone here who made it posible for me to write this application.

    Use Package & Deployment wizard or any Installer program like InnoSetup or InstallShield etc.

    Pradeep1210,

    Is this PACKAGE and DEPLOYMENT WIZARD part of the VB6? Can you please tell me where to find them and any instructions as to how to use them.

    Re: How to install

    If it isn't in the Add-In menu of the IDE, then you have to select the Add-In Manager, and select the PACKAGE and DEPLOYMENT WIZARD, and tell it to load at start-up.

    Then, you can select it from the Add-In Menu. Just follow the instructions, and it will create a setup1.exe, a .lst file, and a .cab file that are used together to install your app.

    If you want to create one setup.exe that does the same thing (only better)
    go to www.*********** and download Inno Setup, and Inno Script.
    Inno Script writes the script for Inno Setup for you. It allows you to create desktop icons that are installed automatically. That feature is why I switched.
