Installing Application with two Project Files

[AGP]

I have created an application that uses two '.vbp' files. I now want to distribute my program on cd-rom. What would be the easiest way using visual basic 5 Package And Deployment Wizard to do this. Do I need to run the 'Package And Deployment Wizard' seperately for each .vbp' file or is it possible to do them together, so that when a user installs the program, they are both installed together?
many thanx.

AGP,
I haven't tried to do this, but logically this should work. You would have to build your secondary project as an *.exe or *.dll (whatever one you need). Open your primary project and make a reference to your resultant *.exe file. The PDW should read the necessary files for your secondary file and include them with your installation for your primary project.

One thing I worry about is the PDW not seeing the use of your reference to the secondary *.exe and cleaning that out of your primary build. But if so, you can always select the secondary *.exe and any reliant files to include in the PDW.

Good luck.

Hi!

The alternative is to modify PDW. It's not so hard. Source code is in VB install dir.
