Corayzon Regular Posts: 67 | hey Exile, its quiet easy to make a custom installer for a vb app, simple follow these steps... make a package from the wizard so u can get all the system components your app uses... next compile your app... now...put them all in one dir somewhere and start a new standard.exe ... using the api veiwer, get commands like GetWindowsDirectory... now with your appication...just program it to install to a dir with all ur needed files...and make it copy all the system files into windows\system32\ and this is it, u have ur own installer... now sometimes ur installer might need some system files to run itself...so what u do is zip the exe installer with the needed system files in the same dir. so when the ,exe runs, and cant find the system files it will check the app path =] hope it helps |
