The set up program created from the project in VB does install on other computer. Why ?

Question

I developed a project in VB 6 and created a Set Up program through Package & Deployment Wizard. However, the Set Up program does not install on another computer (There is no VB 6 on another computer) The files do not get copied on the other computer. Is it necessary to install VB 6 on the other computer ? (The Set Up installs on my computer, perhaps my computer has VB 6.

Answer 1

Describe the other computer.... is it running a windows OS? or are your trying to install on a MAC?



Describe the deployment setup... are you packaging for a net or CD deploy?





EDIT:



Try doing a simple Hello World program and deploy that. Just make a form with a label and button that prints something to the label. Keep it simple.... Then compile, package and deploy it. See if your have any difficulties, if so then you have an issue with the VB6 installation on your machine. If this simple deployment works than you have a configuration issue in your project settings such that a referenced file is not being included in your projects deployment.





Also make sure that you have the latest VB6 service pack installed (SP6) . Check the help/About and see what SP if any is installed. I can tell you right now that there are numerous bugs in the base VB6 program which the service packs address and this maybe one of them if there aren't any SP's installed

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with VB, but with other languages and Setup wizards. It sounds to me like you are installing the source code and not the compiled application. The setup needs to include at the compiled application and eventual other libraries that you might have created for the app.
