Visual Studio225
How can I use VB6 package deployment wizard to create a distribution package that runs with absolutely no dialogs? I will use my own wrapper to assess needs and ask permission (once!) to install. I need the resource that I create to be hassle free, and the normal dialogs are too much for many non-technical end users.

Try using the Visual Installer application from MS (link on my website under

Application Design) - its free. It creates MSI installation packages which

can be run in a slient install scenario...



Also, look into a tool from MS called ORCA (dont have the link in front of

me) that will allow you to modify the MSI database..



Found the link to Orca -

In the past I put timers on every form and had the

timer event call the click event of the button I

wanted chosen. Set the timer's interval to like 10

ms or so...



The setup project is setup1.vbp.

Investigate the command line switches that can be passed to the setup.exe -

particularly /s

following fruit:



You can customise the setup program to do whatever you like.



It's rude to post to a newsgroup and expect an email

response.
