Install An MSI Package In An MSI Package.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Installer 1.1 which I find easy to use. But unfortunately it's limited. It doesn't have something like installing additional features. And by installing additional features, I mean to say like a prompt for users if MDAC would be installed or something else. I found an article in MSDN which encapsulates the installation of MDAC. Or more to say, run the MDAC_TYP.exe from the MSI package. Now I want to know if there's also a way to run an MSI package included in an MSI package. In other words, run an MSI package (mostly third party) then run my MSI package to install my application. Is this possible?

Package And Install
So I am trying to make an installer for my program. I am using VBInstaller downloaded from Microsoft. But I am not sure how to add my dependencies or where to find them.
Example:
Neither a merge module nor dependacy information could be found for c:program filesmicrosoft officeoffice 10execl.exe
One or more files in MDAC.MSM have different versions that those installed on this machine
...
How do I add those dependancies or am I doing these wrong? Did I go about the procedure correct? I just loaded VBInstaller and browesd to my project. Is there an easier way?
Thanks In Adance!

Install Package
I have a VB application that I create install Pack. The program have few
folder, files to be included. I edit the setup.list to copy the file as

Install Package
Hi All,
My company is currently still using VB6 for some applications. We currently use the "Plain Vanilla" Package and deployment wizard that comes with VB6. We have a requirement that we would like to create a "Single" install package for this apllication we are going to sell. The only problem is that the "Base" program is always the same but we need to supply different templates for each customer. Is there any way to make the VB6 install package to Load these "Template" files from a "Subdirectory" on the CDROM we are supplying without having to make a "Custom" install package for each customer. Basically is there some "Clever" method that will make the install package do a *.* from a directory called "Template" and copy its contents to the "Application" directory used during the install.
This way the "Install" project is fixed and all that needs to be done is to
Load the "Template" directory with the customized files and they will be automatically loaded during install ? Did anybody ever solve a problem like this ? I am sure someone will have a method or provide me with insight on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Nick

Problem With Install Package - VB6 And XP
We created an install package (with VB6 P&D wizard) that worked on our Xp, 98, and Nt machines. We received a brand new computer from our customer that had XP on it. Our installer did not work. We got an error "file ....
\@sst.pwl could not be found". Unfortunately we had to ship the computer back the same day and did not have a chance to find the root cause of the problem. We cannot duplicate the problem on any of our machines. (The sst.pwl is present in the CABs).
The setup.ini is shown below.

Searching For Best Install Package...
I wrote a program that users download off the net in self extracting Zip. I then supply new versions for download often.
My users always have to go and uninstall the old version then
open the self extracting zip to a folder, then run the setup.exe from that newly created folder.
There MUST be a better way! Is there an install package out there that will do all of this for them? Please help... I LOVE this forum!
Help In Install After Making A Package
Hi,
I developped an application and made a package as well. I have Windows XP pro with service pack 2.
When I am trying to install this package on some other machines that also have windows XP and service pack 2, I get a message that some files are older than what are being installed and it asks to click OK to upgrade those files. I click OK then it asks to reboot the machine and I do that too. When the machine comes back up and I try to install my application again the same thing keeps repeating.
The only way I got arround to this problem is to install VB6 studio on those machines then install my application and then UNINSTALL the VB6. But I just can't keep doing this. There has to be some solution to this problem.
Can anyone please HELP me?
Thanks.

Install Package Problems
Ok, I¡¯ll set the scenario first of all for sympathy.
I¡¯ve been working on a program (My first VB-Windows program) in my spare time for the past six months or so, and during this time I have released it to several individuals via the PDW without a hitch.
Since then I have upgraded my old Win95 machine¡_ sorry, read as, very old¡_ and got hold of an XP OS. And since doing this, the damn thing will no longer install on other people¡¯s machines.
I thought that Visual Studio Installer may remedy this, but it has the same problem.
The software.
It¡¯s a Database application that uses dao360 with an Access 97 database. After the program has been installed, either using the PDW or the Visual Studio Installer 1.1, they get a:
Run Time Error 91... Class Not Registered Object Variable or With Block not set or something.
ONLY when they access areas of the program that communicates with the supplied mdb file.
I get the usual dependency missing stuff when I build the installer, but I always have done before with the PDW on my old machine and it never seemed to be a problem, it still worked fine.
I also should add that I¡¯m not saying it¡¯s XP that caused any of this, as I have also recently installed the SP5 and the Visual Studio Installer now and I¡¯m sort of grasping at straws¡_ I¡¯m now basically asking for more hands to help me grasp at them.
Please help.
P.S. I'm new to this, so I have also posted this on the Database board as it kinda applies to both... if the Admin deletes one, could you please be kind enough to group the responses. Thanks in advance.
Making An Install Package
Hey guys,
I was trying to package up a small program for distribution and needed some help.
The program has a data base that is Access 2000. I use a "Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider". When this program and database is installed on a computer that does have VB installed, it has a dll error, that I assume is tied to the database.
What dll do I include with the package to make this work. Here is the list I have to choose from:
1: Excel: Excel 5.0, Excel 4.0, Excel 3.0
2: ODBC Direct
3: ODBC with Jet Workspaces
4: Jet 2.x: Jet 2.x
Any suggestions?

Install Package - Error Help
VB6 SP5
I'm using the built in install package software (that comes with VB).
I've got feedback that when one person tries to run the app after installation, they get this error:
SYSTEM ERROR &80070485 (-2147023739) One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.
Is there any way to figure this problem out??? (i.e. which support file the stupid thing forgot to include or something).
THANKS

How To Create A Silent Install Package
Hello to you all...
Is it possible to create a "silent installation package" in VB6 sp5 ?
I'm trying to create such a package so that my SMS server would be able to install a program at night without users intervention.
Is this possible or should we use a 3rdparty that I don't know the existance of in order to accomplish that... ?
Thanks in advance for any help provided
Incorporating Multiple Exe's In One Install Package
Hi! This is my first time so, hello to everyone!
Now the question:
I want to incorporate some different exe's in my instalation package (PDW). These exe's are all part of a large program (POS) and most of them are using ADO and different controls. My question is: If I simply include them into PDW, will PDW get all dependencies for those exe's to work properly on the target machine?
Foe example: one exe does the administrative work, second one does the actual bussines work, etc. Then all have to be listed in the "Start-Programs" list respactevly and can be run individualy from there.
Will this work or should I approach this somehow different?
Thanx in advance!
Trying To Install A Component Services Package
I'm trying to install a Component Services package on a client machine, and have a problem.
What I've done is create two DLLs and copied them to c:winntsystem32 on the server (win2k). Then gone to Component Services, created a new Application, installed both the components and marked each class as "Supports Transaction". I've then exported the package to some other directory and run this on the client machine, which seems to install it ok. But when my program tries to create an instance of one of the components, it says "Interface not registered".
Any ideas how to solve this? Do I need to set each class' MTSTransactionMode to Uses Transaction or something?
Package And Deploy - Install Error
When installing a program that has an additional .exe file packaged with it, on some machines I get an error that the path cannot be found. The error message box shows an additional backslash has been placed in the path it is trying to see. Has anyone seen this before????
Looks like this:
c:my projectmy directoryanother directory\myexe.exe
It is only doing this on one machine. I can't reporduce it anywhere. I am attempting to take the exe out because it installs all the other packaged files alright.
Any suggestions?????
Thanks-

ODBC Packaged Within Install Package ???????
I was told that you can build an install package AND .... It will/can
contain a ODBC connection is this True or False...?
If True How? Only way I know to create a ODBC connection is the user
creating it via something like Data Sources in Win 2000.

Package Wizard && Install Problems
Hi,
I am small-time coder in VB6 and have been doing mostly maintenance and support work. now I have developed a full application which I need to package into a Setup.exe onto a CD to distribute for installation.
Unfortunately, when I was running the Packaging Wizard, it was aborting with error - "You do not have access to this folder or there is insufficient space." This did not make sense as I was logged in as admin and the machine had over 33GB free space.
I found out my problem was that I was omitting during the packaging some of the DLLs which I thought I did not need. The problem disappeared on including these DLLs (like Excel9, and MSCal.ocx for MS Calendar control). But then the problem comes up during installation.
The installation runs fine but aborts at the end with error message:-
File not found TempDir$DLLSelfRegisterEx MSCal.ocx....
(Note: All other DLL and OCX files are being installed with $DLLSelfRegister - in setup.lst - except for MSCal.ocx which uses $DLLSelfRegisterEx - anybody knows why?)
When I delete the line from setup.lst, I get a different error message -"Unspecified error" and the installation again terminates and uninstalls.
I am not using the Calendar control anywhere in my project though I am using DateTimePicker controls. Do I really need MSCal in my setup? And why is it not registering properly during install? What could be causing the "unspecified errors" and how can I resolve them? I need to package this application fast to deliver to our office.
Something I must add, my project contains a reference to a DLL I wrote and that DLL is included in the setup. Could it be part of the problem?
Please help URGENTLY.
Many many thanks.
GoodGuy.
How Do You Distribute MDAC_TYP.exe With Your Install Package From MSI?
Problem: How do you distribute MDAC_TYP.exe with your install package from MSI?
MS would lead you to believe that you can create an install, and then run wrapper.exe with your .msi file and then your customer would get your app and MDAC all in one seamless install. I have found that the wrapper.exe will allow your app to be installed, but MDAC does not get installed on some Operating systems, Win98 for instance, and no errors to work with are generated.
Or you may try to run MDAC_TYP.exe in silent mode and try to suppress the reboot until after your app has installed. This also has the same fate as using the wrapper.exe.
I can't be the first one to have run into this.

Thanks to anyone who can shine some light on this.

Windows 2000 (Install Software Via Package)
I have made a package under Windows NT4.0 (SP5) for VB with the Package & Deployment Wizard. If I install the package on other Windows NT4 machines I have no troubles. The whole software is running without any problem.
But if I want to run the package under Windows 2000 i get problems.
I get the message
"Setup cannot continue because some system files are out of date on your system. Click OK if you would like to update these files for you now. You will need to restart Windows before can run setup again. Click cancel to exit setup without updating system files."
I click OK and the system is rebooting. After the system is ready to work i'll try to setup the package again. What happend is that the play described above happens again.
What should i do?
Must I build the pachage under Windows 2000?
In the package i install:

Crashing Of Many Different Softwares After Attempt To Install A Package Created In VB
History: About an Year back, I created a Game in VB6 that ran very well on my system or any system when Ran through Visual Basic 6.
However it showed Wierd results when I tried to create its package and tried to Install and Run it on syatems not having Visual Basic.
It Got Installed on my system (old and new) very well and Ran well too. But on other Systems (not having VB), error occured during installing itself. Error was regarding OLEAUT32.DLL file. Results were too wierd. Computer got Hanged and had to be restarted, and the Game had not got installed. Moreover, most shockingly, the other independent softwares like MS WORD, MS EXCEL, Scanner , Printer Softwares, etc all crashed with the same error of OLEAUT32.DLL.
I searched on the net and found the cure in DCOM98 and vbrun60sp6.exe.
Note: 1. I had Made the Game in my old computer (Windows 98SE) but made the Package in new computer (Windows XP, Professional,Version 2002, SP2)
2. Package was made using VB Package and Deployment Wizard
3. Ive used Speech API in it. installed from SAPI4SDKSUITE.exe of Microsoft.
Present: Recently, I again made the package of the Game and this time I didn't include the OLEAUT32.DLL in it. I was quite sure that it will run well on a PC having only XP as it was compilled on an XP machine. I gave it to my friend, she tried to install it on her "pure XP" machine like mines, but again ERROR came up.
This time there was some different Error like the Softwares like MS WORD, MSEXCEL, etc had unsually modified menus, Taskbar does not show up, then error comes that taskbar not installed...something like that.
I dont have ANY idea why such Wierd things are happening , and most unusually its not happening even once on my own PC.
I cant Upload the Game here as its about 100Mb.
I'm enclosing the list of files that are used.
[Setup1 Files]
MDAC_TYP.EXE,
Xvoice.dll,
msdxm.ocx,
TABCTL32.OCX,
msado20.tlb,
MSDERUN.DLL,
daxctle.ocx,
Rash Smash 1 .exe,
Im also attaching a LST file (saves as Txt File) that was created during Setup Creation.
Hoping for a positive reply. Thnx.
Is It Possible To Create Install Package By P&&D Without ST6UNST.LOG File Is List?
I understand that ST6UNST.LOG is a neccessary file used for complete application uninstall process.
My point of problem is on, I try to make some setup that most contain only .DLL and neccessary file for run application. Application file and data will be stored on Server site. At this point I think the folder for my application on client site is no need (only ST6UNST.LOG may stored on application directory).
So Is it possible to create install package by P&D without ST6UNST.LOG file is list? (But still aviable for uninstall)
Or Is it possible to create install package by P&D that uninstall process is not need? (Install once and never uninstall)
And How?

How Do I Create A Single Install File From The Package And Deployment Wizard?
Ok. Everytime I use the package and deployment wizard to create my install package, it creates a .exe, a .cab, and a .lst file.
I only want a single file, AppName_Installer.exe How can I get this result?
Call me a stupid noob or whatever, just be sure to include in your insult how to create the single file installer. I need a single file that I can send out to my company for each user to install. If I try to send two or three files, I can just imagine how many errors I am going to get emails and calls about.
Thanks in advance.
Package && Deployment Hangs At Loading Package Types
Using VB6 on Vista. I haven't used my package and deployment for a while but today I recompiled my application and tried to ceate a new package for deployment. It got as far as "loading package types..." and quit. I reinstalled the program a couple of times without success. I noticed at the top of my 'Add-in Manager' there is an item that says "<MISSING>AFVBAddinConnect" if that makes any difference. Hopefully, someone has a solution or reason why this is occurring. Thanks.

Oracle Package.Procedure Works But Package.Function() Does Not ?
Hi,
I am trying to call a function in a package in Oracle, from VB. I am using the traditional ADODB with connection, command and parameter objects. The function has 6 input parameters and it returns a string value.
We have no problems reaching the similar Procedure under a package, but when it comes to accessing the function, it gives errors. I got "no descriptor found", after some changes "object stored Procedure does not exist" .
Any suggestions on how differently to access a function within a package as opposed to a procedure ?
Thanks,
Arch

Package And Deployment Wizard Not Generating Package
Hi,
I am trying to generate a package, for a Visual Basic application I wrote, through the Package and Deployment Wizard utility. PDW seems to work great until it gets to the last step. When I click the "Finish" button, instead of generating the package, with its setup and library files, it bombs out/exits without giving any clue/error message why.
I would appreciate any help you could give me on that.
Thanks,

Package 'cannot Find File' - L:Package\@test.exe
Hi,
I created a package for my software (written in VB6), but when I try to install, it tells me that a file: L:Package\@test.exe cannot be found (L:Package is the location of the package). Test.exe is supposed to be built into the package, but I get this error. Also, when it tries to remove the installed files, it just gets stuck and crashes.
Anyone got any ideas? - a quick reply would be greatly appreciated.

Execte DTS Package From VB Doesn't Run "Execute Package"
Hey!
I am executing a DTS package from VB. This DTS package has an Execute Package task which executes a child package. Or it should do!! When running from Enterprise Manager the two packages run successfully. When I try to execute them from VB it appears to run successfully, but it is only running the top package.
Any ideas?
Best Way To Package??
Yippee.. I love an opportunity to sound like a newbie.
I am about to distribute a VB app to an office, and I have been using the standard Package and Deployment plugin to do it. However, I feel this setup process leaves a lot to be desired, like unable to place Shortcuts anywhere, and seemingly no other customization options for the installing party. What options are out there and what is considered the "best way to go"? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
