Welcome to the Forums.

Are you using VB.NET or VB Express? If so then we can move this thread to the correct forum as this is the forum for VB 6, a different language from .NET

Ya, that is a vb 6.Then the setup.vb is a file that create by the P&D of vb 6.
Got any person can help me out?

Well you can make a copy of the source code of the P&D Wiz and add in new additional forms. Or you can use a freeware installer like Inno Setup which is more customizable.

Hi there,
So how to add in new additional forms to it?

Thank you.

[RobDog888]

Make a backup copy of the P&D Wiz folder source under the VS install folder. Then its nothing more then a regular vb project. Do you know how to add a basic form to a project?

VS install folder?what is that?Then how to add a basic form to a project?


Thank you.

[RobDog888]

If you dont know how to add a basic form to a project then I would suggest you get a book on programming with VB 6 as its a very simple primary task.

You just click "Project menu > Add Form"

[lcy86]

O...If add like that, I know how to do it.Then ?

Thank you.

[RobDog888]

Yes, that is how you would add a new form to your project.

Hi there,
Actually my question is how to modify the setup.vb, so that my setup can become dynamic SetUp package that prompts for particulars during the installation phase.

thank you.

[RobDog888]

Yes, I have posted that answer too. In the ?:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\Setup1
directory you will find the source code for the P&D Wizard. Make a backup of it before you modify it with you additional form.

Now I know what is the problems, this is because i did not compile it out. After that, the .exe file need to put to the correct place will do.
