Converting .NET to VB6
Hello,
I'm under a huge deadline, and I'm having a heck of a time getting my .NET code to run on users' boxes (issues with DLL's, Assembly security, et cetera).
Is it possible to migrate all my .NET code into VB6 (I know that VB6 will run without issue on these machines).
I guess this is a 2-parter:
If it isn't possible to convert my code to VB6 - is it possible to create an installation package (with all the necessary DLL's) for my project?
Thanks much,
Whah.

Packaging is built into VS.NET - simply create a new project, and select "Setup and Deployment Projects" as the type of project. This will create an installer for you. It should include all the dll's and stuff for you. There are of course, third party packagers too.

Oh, and trying to turn a .NET app into a VB6 app? Ewwww..... not likely, especially under a looking deadline :)

Okay, I've gone through the Setup process.
I created a New "Setup Project", and added my existing "Proj1" project to it.
I followed the tutorial you showed me to create my "Setup1.msi" file.
I ran the "Setup1.msi" file on the target system; everything seemed to have copied over just fine, and the installation directory was created.
However - when I look in the installation directory; my "Proj1.exe" is not contained therein. In fact - nothing is in the installation directory.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
