Pls help..VB5 setup wizard question

[bnath001]

Hi,

New user to VB5 setup wizard program.

When I run it says the following warning messages but eventually creates the setup disks (with one or two features in my VB application not working) .
I am guessing while creating setup disks using the wizard program if all goes well without warnings my program will run fine on the target machine.

error messages:
1. \\kkk\vb_ent.v50\DevStudio\VB\ The setup wizard does not support UNC names. Pls make a network connection to the share & try again.

2. The setup wizard has found a reference to the file \VB5Ext.olb. however no dependency info was available to locate the dependent automation component.

could someone help me in understanding what to do?

Here the developement files (project files) are on my local machine and the setup wizard program is on server in LAN environment. should the wizard program be installed on my local machine itself?

any ideas pls..
thank you

Here's a suggestion for the first issue:

At the wizard machine, map a drive letter to the share on the development machine and reference the project's files by that drive letter. I pretty sure that's where the complaint about the UNC filename is coming from - you're making it use UNC names.

The second problem regarding the inability to locate the automation component is further fallout from your approach of trying to run the setup wizard anyplace but on the development machine.

Heres what I did dilettante..

I installed VB5 on my local machine and copied the development files (VB5) into the local machine also and then ran the setup wizard.

Though I am getting only 1 error message (the second one about not finding the dependency info about vb5ext.old file) the setup wizard created floppy's.

But some how a functionality is missing in my application when I install it through the newly created setup wizards.
How is that possible. I am confused..

any suggestions please...
thank you
