Simple question

Hello!
My friend told me that Visual Studio enterprise edition comes with installShiel. Can anyone tell me if I can use InstallShield that comes with visual studio for VB packaging? I know that VB6 comes with a package and development wizard. What is the difference between InstallShield and package and development wizard in VB6? Any suggestion is appreciated.

The package and deploy thing in vb6 IS Install Shield, it is just optimized for VB6 (to iniclude OCXs and DLLs) and what's nice about it is that you can modify the actual vb code that gets run. you can find that here:
[VB INSTALL PATH]\Wizards\PDWizard\Setup1
make certain that you back the original up so that you have a template to start with, but you can modify these files to change the way it looks and what it does while installing.
Hope this helps, Chi

Chi,
Thank you very much!
In a sense, InstallShield is nothing better than VB package and development wizard?

Well the full blown Install Shield has some powerful features that can be used for many different languages, the package and deployment in vb6, is simply Install Shield optimized for VB6.
You can do much more with Install Shield, but if you don't have it and you are using VB6, then Package and Deploy is quite good.
