Hi
I am making a VB package I have to ship one folder which contains lots of images.
Can u tell me how i can package this folder in the set up.

can somebody refer me to a free BETTER P&D wizard then the one that is shipped with visual basic ?

Did you ever find out how to add a folder to a vb package?

Pal I found a way to add a folder in a package.

When the wizard ask you to add any additional files add your files one by one. After some "nexts" it will ask you to write where to install every file. There you will see as a destination the $(AppPath), change this for your custom files as $(AppPath)\FolderName to install your pics in desired folder. It takes a long if you have a lot of files but it's the only way I found.

I hope this helps!
cheers

Is there any way to include a directory in that shit package?

I used the VB  Package & Deployment Wizard  for my projects, but i have this problem :
The process of installation  becomes with English, but the uninstallation of  my VB programs becomes with Spanish dialogues.
How can  fix this problem?
(I have Windows 98 SE Greek)

Here's an easier way.  Add the files from the folder you need, leave the destination to $(AppPath).  When the P&D is done, edit the SETUP.LST file.  Just put \Folder after the $(AppPath), copy and paste to the remaining lines.

While using the package and development wizard I would like to know how is it possible to add a shortcut on my project automatically in the desktop during setup.

I have created one pakage in VB. but while installing that pckage  at the end stage it will give error like 'c:\windows\temp\msftqws.pdw\$(DLLselfRegisterEx) could not be registered b'se it was not found. how to solve this?

In same package folder setup.lst file willl be there
open this file using notepad. search for DllSelfregisterEx and just remove Ex

this accurs if you use Calender control

I have two projects with two exe. Example A.exe and B.exe. Suppose I want to run A.exe first and then B.exe. Is it possible to tell Packege and Development while intalling Run A.exe first?

thanks
