[LG Goundalkar]

hi ..
i am using VB 6.0, and i have developed a database package using vb6.0...
to make the setup files, i used packaging and deploying wizard...
i got the output as cab files too... but when i run the setup, i found that
it didn't included the
.mdb,.bmp,.hlp,.txt files which i used in my package. also i couldn't able
to install the package in to
program files group.. it gave error (i don't remember it) but the .exe file
was installed in the system...
also it gave error for msvcrt20.dll, as access voilation..
so please give me more information to make setup files so that i can install
the package on someones system...

i would be very thank ful for ur reply...
love lgg

the PDWizard has a step where you can manually add other files like MDBs and so on.
MSVCRT20.dll: the first message Setup displays is something like "setup cannot overwrite files if they are in use. close all running applications".
Well, just do that.

thanks for the reply...
when installing i had closed all the applications.. u mean i have to close the TSR s like antivirus package which will be running and minimised in bottom right corner of the status bar..
also i am having the problem of File \ path access error at the end of setup. if i close the setup as prompted by the setup dialog boxes, then the uninstallation screen appears and it doesn't work. if i close the task by pressing the Ctrl+alt+delete, then it comes out of the setup and my application will be installed in the program group..
so please give the solution for this...
again thanking u..

I don't think you should have to terminate TSRs.

As for the file\path access error, take a look at your setup.lst (it's a simple text file) and check what it does.
If you can safely assume that your users already have the correct version of msvcrt20.dll, remove the line from setup.lst and renumber the "FILE...=" lines.

but the application is not getting properly installed in the end.. also i can't find the application name in the add/remove programs in the control panel..

check out the logfile that is written by the setup wizard (I don't know the exact location, probably the application directory). It should contains some information regarding the cause of your problem.
