    Installer

    this is more advice than a problem
    say i have a program that uses 3 or 4 different ocx files and 3 or 4 .dll files like custom controls or something for talks sake.. what would be the best installer to use so that the program installs to say c:\program files\example or wherever the user chooses to install it but also register the DLL and OCX files to the C:\windows\system32 folder and registers them properly to save the user doing it themselves? uninstaller too by the way for it all
    any one got any advice
    ive tried a few and they dont see to register the ocx/dll files properly

    For all deployment question we have Application Deployment forum.

    Anyway, I don't believe in the "best software" thing - it's what works best for you that matters.
    I've always used Package & Deployment Wizard (aka P&DW) that comes shipped with VB and very happy with it.

    Look in the Application Forum in the FAQ's to see Installer Packagers. There are a few. I use ********** combined with InnoSetup.
