Hello All:
I have a VB6 application that is almost finished and I am now starting on writing the installation program. I have the need to copy over about 100 template files. So I would like to add these files to a single compressed file, then have the installation program uncompress these files during the install. The installation would be smart enough to uncompress this file and place the 100 files into the proper location.
I am using the packaging and deployment wizard that comes with VB 6.
In additional I would like to figure out how to tell a 'power user' to update this compressed file and replace the current compressed file. The 100 template files will change from time to time and I would prefer to not have to recreate the entire installation.
I really hope this makes sense. Basically what I need:
1. Create an installation program that can uncompress a certain file that contains multiple files (UnZip a file without requiring user interface during a VB installation program).
2. The ability to show a user how to update this compressed file and replace it on the current setup.
I really appreciate your help.
thanks
