VB 6.0 Application SetUp Kit

[Aowl]

Hello Sir/Ma,
I have developed an Application using Visual basic 6.0 with SQL Server 2000(SP4) but now I would want to upgrade by creating a SetUp Toolkit that will incorporate all Files/Components required for Installation in a Client System

That is My Application, SQL Server 2005/2008 Express, Windows Installer/.Net Frameowrk, Crystal Report 9.0 Components and all other components to run and install smoothly in the Clients System.

Thank you

You can use the Package & Deployment Wizard that comes with Visual Basic.

I never use this as the main installer though, cause it sucks. I just use it because it takes all the necessary runtime files and puts them all into a folder named SUPPORT.

Then I use that directory with another installer like Inno Setup or Easy Install Creator (both are free).

Then you will have a single installation file that you can use.
