Package & Deployment Wizard question

[ermingut]

How to tell Package & Deployment Wizard (VB6) to copy file I select to directory I want.

Example:

I have file c:\data\mydbase.mdb in my development computer.

I also want this file to be in the same directory on computer where I will run the program.

Thanks!

Make sure you include your database with the rest of the files you are packaging. The database probably will not show up in the list of included files, so you will want to click the Add button.

You can then browse to the directory where your .mdb is saved and include it by choosing All Files (*.*), in the Files of Type drop down box.

Hi there, first add your database file to include files tab of the deployment wizard and from install location of your database file select $(AppPath).. Hope u get it..

By $(AppPath) I understand, that file will be copied in directory where program will bi installed. (c:\program files\myApp). I will try it (but I doubt this will copy my data base to custom directory).

In VB5 I can tell setup wizard where to copy files (for each file).

I didn't find this in VB6's wizard!

Thanks!

After you have run the Setup Wizard and Included your DB or other files i.e, Icons, Bitmaps, Text Files, look at the file Setup.Lst in Notepad and you will see which files are to go where. You can change the Deployment schema from $ProgramFiles to C:\Your_Specified_Directory.
