    I have changed setup 1.exe so that it loads my own form when it gets to a certain stage in the install procedure.

    load form1

    I see the form being loaded but it keeps disappearing before I can do anything with it. Is there anything I can do with the setup1.exe so that I can actually use the form that I have added?

    All I did was add a new form. I call this form in the form load procedure of the frmSetup1 form_load


    ----I have since changed that so that it works from a command button.

    When I click on the command button attempting to load my form I get an error
    to do with modal forms. I have set the visible property on the form that calls it to false as I should have, I just don't understand it.

    I think you must show the form modal eg. Form1.Show vbModal

    Post I think you better use InstallShield

    I think you better use InstallShield, is too powerfull
    you can edit the script, and set the order of the installation files
    with this you can do everything!!!
    the Visual Basic package doesn't recognize second levels
    of dependencies "there you have a problem"

    Bye!
