    Package And Deployment in VB 6.0

    I created Package And Deployment for a vb application everything is fine.I created .INI file which reads the database path and sends as connectionstring.But after creating package and doing setup in the client system,if client want to change database path,so he can change it in .INI so it can reflect.But it is not reflecting the setup.Please tell me solution to solve that problem.

    i cant seem to get what you mean but, in the idea about Package and Deployment, i suggest you use inno setup to create your installer.

    i think you want to change only the database path as desired by the user at the time of installation and not the entire package installation path...this can not be done simply...

    Maybe in your app when it loads you can errortrap if the db is no longer in the ini path specified and present a doalig box for the user to browe to locate the db. Then save that path in your ini.
