    Question PDW - Trying to add a second Setup.exe

    I am using the Package and Deployment Wizard to package my project. By default VB creates your exe of the package as Setup.exe.

    I am on the stage Package and Deployment Wizard - Included Files

    I have a setup.exe from another program that I want to add to this package. (I cannot change the name of the other programs .exe.)

    How can I add a exe named setup.exe? All I want is the cab file from this package. I tried to remove the Setup.exe but it will not allow me to. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to change the default name to something esle?

    Add the another .exe not the one that the setup is made for.

    Sorry I misunderstand.

    I am using the PDW and by default the package uses its exe as Setup.exe and when I try to add a exe for another program which is also named setup.exe I get this as a msg:

    A file with this name has already been added to the list of files.


    What am I doing wrong?

    You can't have two files with exactly the same name in the setup.

    Example:

    Say you have two apps named "Project1.exe" & "Project2.exe" they can both be added to the setup package.

    But if two files named "Project1.exe" you can only put one I the package.
