Hi, we are not familiar with creating a deployment setup file for VB6, so bare with us.

The Microsoft Article doesn't say how to create the setup or we cannot see it.  We identified the Components & References part, but can't seem to see the final steps to actually create the setup.exe

  • Can you please provide the steps?

'Inno Setup' and Advanced Installer' doesn't seem say anything about VB6.

  • Can these be used for creating VB6 setups for our projects?
  • Can you guys provide the steps if it can be used for VB6?
Inno setup is working independently and not only compatible well with vb6 compiled executables.

I will try to provide some sample for you from my archive.

Thanx Ryan, didn't see your entry, but can you help us on the steps and advice us? (unless you consider 'Inno setup' superior of course we will follow your lead on it)

Yes, we assume it's reading up and modifying the script to our install.  

Though greatly appreciated in your Inno Setup help, at this point we see the VB install/deploy much easier (we don't have may projects to create setup to).  Based on our entry ID: 41868278, can you review if we are missing something?

We chose our entry as the best because we were able to use vb6 apps directly (in case a member would come upon similar situation as us)
