    Installation Compiler for VB6 HELP

    I have an application written in VB6, the database is SQL server and i connected it to the database via ODBC.
    If i want to deploy for my clients, i have to first install the setup for the application,instal the Crystal Report Program, instal the SQL server and Configure the ODBC.
    Please is there any Installation that can do all those, so that my clients can download the application online and install it without the long process i go through ?
    Any Help ?

    Everything but SQL Server can be packaged together. You can avoid using ODBC by substituting it with OLEDB provider.
    Depending on SQL Server version your customers may require license which you cannot package - they need to buy it from the vendor directly (Microsoft).
    For more information on how to properly package your application refer to Application deployment forum.
