VB App Install / Deployment problem

[AMT2]

I've packaged a vb app via the package and deployment wizard, and resulting files are on cd for distribution to end users. The cd launches setup.exe, which automatically displays the standard 'file download' dialog box along with open - save- cancel and 'more info' buttons.

If I select open, the setup runs fine. However, if save is chosen, setup.exe is saved to the hard drive but additional files, for ex, lst and cab files are not and an attempt to install via the saved setup.exe understandably fails. How do I modify the process so that all the required install files are copied to the user's desktop if the save option is chosen on the file download screen?

I also had a similar situation with install the app from a link on a web site and resolved it by compressing the files into a zipped file which is downloaded from the web. The app installs when the user opens it and clicks on setup.exe.

I'm obviously new at deploying pc apps and would appreciate any assistance to resolve what I suspect is a very basic issue. Thanks in advance.

Your setup seems a little unusual in that it appears to offer the choice of copying/saving the contents of the setup package to the users desktop. Why do you give them that choice at all?

Eh? Have you rewritten setup then?
