MS VC++ InstallationShield

[larva]

Hi Guys,

I was trying to use MS VC++ InstallationShield to make setup files for my program, which is developed under Win2000 Pro. I have gone thru. the creation of setup files, where the InstallationShield asked me which platform I want to run my program on and I have checked Win98, and WinNT. I tried to install my program on other Win2000 Pro but it doesn't work at all. My program need to use some DLL files and .MDB files too but these file didn't even copy to other Win2000 station too. Is there any source I can refer to or you can guide me ? Thanks !

regards,
Larva

Did you identify these files to the Install Shield package.

It only will build what you select, not what you need.

FYI the InstallShield version that ships with VC++ is InstallShield 5.5 with a few features disabled (like calling into a dll).

InstallShield is now up to version 7, which is now based on using Windows Installer from MS (which personally I find awkward to use, but MS Knows Best.)
