Hi guys,

I've written a data entry form in visual basic 6. I know how to use the package and deployment wizard, but I can't figure out how to create a disclaimer for my application.

What I want is a standard disclaimer that people have to accept before the program is installed on thier computer. If they don't accept the disclaimer, the program is not installed.

Thanks in advance,
Sarah

You need to modify the install project. It can be found under the vb directories.

If you have installed vb on the c drive under program files, then the path to look into is:
c:\program files\vb98\wizards\package and deployment wizard\setup1\setup1.vbp

I suggest you make a copy of the project files before you start modifing them.

Once you open that project, you can add and remove any code that you want, so you could form a eula or disclaimer form to pop up and if someone clicks no, they don't agree, then you could terminate the application.

I hope this helps you,

Hi Chi,

Thank you very much. I didn't realize Microsoft would let me modify their installer code. I figured they had that locked up like Fort Knox.

Great work and thanks again,

Sarah
