Execution of Script during installation ?

[ChewDoggie]

Hello All !

Not sure if I'm in the right forum....I'm building a VB6 installation package to be installed on a client's machine. Some of the table's in their database need to be modified for the new app to function properly. Is it possible to execute some .sql or .bat files while my VB6 App is installing so that these DB changes are integrated when the app installs ?

Or will the client will have to execute them separately ?

I'm using the built-in Package and Deployment Wizard.

Thanks !

If you're using the PDW your best bet might be to create a customized Setup1.exe for your package. This program is written in VB6 and the source to the base version is in your PDW folder under the VB98\Wizards folder.

If you were using VSI 1.1 to build an MSI package you could use a custom action to run a script, EXE, or invoke a DLL.
