Packaging question ?

[moyalt]

Hi ,

I made this program - contain a form with a picture box , and this program open a picture you want. (very simple)

Now that I compiled the program and would like to package it I would like to include with the program a folder call Pictures and in it a lot of picture files.

I would like that the creation of this folder and adding the picture files will be done automatic , when the user of the program install it - how can it be done ??

Thanks in advance , Moyalt.

If you are using the Package and Deployment Wizard (it's similar for the Setup Wizard), choose "Package" and then click Next 4 times. That will bring you to the "Included Files" screen. Clack "Add" and add the pictures or other files you want, then click "Next" 4 more times which will bring you to the "Install Locations" screen. Click on the "Install Location" column for each of the pictures, choose $AppPath and append the directory name ie $AppPath\Pictures

Dear Marty ,

I thank you for our help , but I have like 1000 picture files is it a faster way to insert them in the package & deployment - now I only can insert one file a time.

Thanks in advance , Moyalt.

I think you can do it by

1) Adding one picture using the P&D Wizard
2) Let the P&D Wizard finish its process
3) Edit the Setup.Lst file and make 999 entries like the one you added.
