    Microsoft Packaging and Deployment Wizard question

    Hello i used Microsoft Packaging and Deployment Wizard for my vb6 app. I added the setup.exe from ODBC driver but when i run the installation it just copy the file "setup.exe" to the installation folder.
    Can i use Microsoft Packaging and Deployment Wizard to make ODBC driver install, not just copy?

    Thank you!

    Yes you can, but this requires you to create a customized version of Setup1.exe that will recognize you have included certain files (such as any setup.exe) and run them after copying them.

    You can find the Setup1.exe project where you installed VB, however, I suggest that before you alter this project you make two copies. One for backup, and one for your modifications. Then if you don't know the code to wait for something you have shelled out, search for Shell and wait...



    Good Luck
