Package & Deployment: Include folders
(OP)
Is it possible to include a Folder in the setup package created by the VB6 Package and Deployment Wizard? It allows you to include files but I can't find a way to include some support folders that my program needs. Thanks.

I believe it will be under the option of dependency files
next ..perhaps new folder ..next..add and then browser pops open to add additional files
Not sure if if actually creates the folder as you want it ... you may need to add a script for that

setup/install..whatever the name of your app is
and let it create the folders needed and move the support files to there..
include a little readme.txt for the user

- Create your basic package
- Add the files/folders into the Support folder
- Update the file "Setup.Lst" to include the files that you are interested in with their target folder.
- Run the "*.bat" file in the Support folder to re-build the deployment package based on the new settings.
Hope that helps.

The above link might work, if not search MSDN for Visual Studio 6.0 Installer
