    Lightbulb Packaging using Inno Setup

    Hi all,
    I have a project made in VB which has SSTabs, DTPicker, MsFlexGrid, Kewl buttons, combos, listboxes, command buttons, labels, option buttons, image boxes, picture boxes.
    The db is Access 2003.
    Reports used with CR9 is being included in the proj.
    I ran the Innosetup wizard and added the report,db,files. I added the below lines of code (as seen in the FAQ) at its appro location.
    ; begin VB system files
    ; (Note: Scroll to the right to see the full lines!)
    Source: "vbfiles\stdole2.tlb"; DestDir: "{sys}"; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6; Flags: restartreplace uninsneveruninstall sharedfile regtypelib
    Source: "vbfiles\msvbvm60.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6; Flags: restartreplace uninsneveruninstall sharedfile regserver
    Source: "vbfiles\oleaut32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6; Flags: restartreplace uninsneveruninstall sharedfile regserver
    Source: "vbfiles\olepro32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6; Flags: restartreplace uninsneveruninstall sharedfile regserver
    Source: "vbfiles\asycfilt.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6; Flags: restartreplace uninsneveruninstall sharedfile
    Source: "vbfiles\comcat.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6; Flags: restartreplace uninsneveruninstall sharedfile regserver
    ; end VB system files
    Now what are the other files etc which I may have to add to ensure the setup properly installs & runs the program in the client machine.

    I use ADO to access the db and use CRAXDDRT to diplay the report

    Thanx in advance

    Re: Packaging using Inno Setup

    The Inno Setup Wizard is not going to help you there Try ********** It will capture all the other files you need. You can also use the CR9 Merge Modules from here

    This combination with Inno Setup will insure you get you installation ready for deployment.

    And ********** will also give you some great documentation on what's included in your project directly in the script.

    Re: Packaging using Inno Setup

    You need to understand the difference and what the programs actually do....

    ********** - Create a complete script for Inno Setup
    Inno Setup - An Installer (a packaging program)
    Inno Setup Wizard - an attempt to get you started creating your Inno Setup Script something ********** does a much better job at.


    It's all in the documentation...
