VB6's Package & Deployment Wizard?

[Michael Kizer]

How good is it at determining all of the necesary DLL/OCX components needed by an application?

Considering if it did a good job, should I be able to look at the install log for my app, extract the names of all the pieces that were installed and use that list to build a more robust install with say, InstallShield?

BTW, I am going to have to use the InstallShield that comes with Visual Studio 6. It is the special VC++ version, but it looks like it'll work with VB as well.

yeah I have that too

I tried using it once(the install shield)
I didnt like it much...
well I just need to get used to it i guess...
but there is a really good free instal program here

its called InnoSetup....

oh, about your question....

you need msvbvm60.dll ALL THE TIME.....
and for the OCX's and stuff, in the components thing you can see where they are located,
then you just copy them to the location where you see them.....
that should be all you need unless you are using DB stuff.
