VB 5.0 Setup problem

[VBdevil]

Hi everyone,
I have a VISUAL BASIC 5.00 application that needs a few dll’s and a few other types of files in order to work. I created a Setup with the Application setup wizard (followed all the steps). When I run setup.exe it puts the dll’s where they should be in order for the application to work (c:/windows./system), but it doesn’t put the other files in the correct place (app.path & “/progs/bin”).
What did ‘I do wrong? Is there a specific stage of the Wizard where I should have specified that I wanted these files at this specific place?

Yes you have to specify the path for those files. In the P&D wizard their is a form called 'Install Locations', it is after the start menu items. On this form locate the files that need to be in the \progs\bin folder, scroll to the right and add the folder to the install location. When you are done it will probably look like;

$(AppPath)\progs\bin Thanks and Good Luck!

I have VB5.0 so I don't have the P&D wizard. I have the Application Setup Wizard...

I manually changed the path in the setup.lst file (the file generated by the wizard that lists all the files that have to be installed on the users computer), so now it works, but I want the wizard to do this automatically, and I don't know how.
Thanks anyway...
Maybe if you know the VB5.0 wizard you can help me?

Your wizard may not do it automatically, because even with the P&D wizard in VB6 you have to add it manually every time you create a setup script.

You might want to try a different installation package to create your setup package. Inno is well recommended and can be found at

However I don't know how it would work with VB5. Matbe they have some documentation on that. Thanks and Good Luck!
