How do I make setup.exe?

[sangyun]

I'd like to know how i make "setup.exe". Firstly i used package wizard. However if I make "setup.exe" using package wizard, it doesn't work on some computer. If a computer don't have Visual Studio or Microsoft Office, my setup file doesn't work.
If you have a solution, tell me about that.
Thanks for your answer...

Hello,

perhaps you need another setup-"creator". I know a free setup-tool, which is very professionell. You can download it on "http://www.gkware.com/gksetup".

I hope it helps!

The package & deployment wizard in VB6 is much better than the one that came with VB4/5 (well, it couldn't be any worse). It sounds to me like you are not picking up all the correct DLL's required to run your program - have you tried creating a dependency file for your project ? This should help identify any missing DLL's or OCX's your project needs (it might also help if you told us the errors that you're getting when you install).

Hi,
Please look at the answer, I have given at

This may solve youe problem.
Also in addition to above, some time, installation programme does not work. Simply install IE 4.0 (which comes with VS 6.0). I faced the same when I was installing from windows NT.
