My program is done ;-) but I still need to polish off the whole registry/installation part. VB6 Learning Edition was fine for the basics, but now it's time to 'get it out there'.

I'm about to hit eBay - what should I look for?

 
Package & Deployment Wizard should ship with any full version of Visual Studio 6. Not sure if you can download it as a standalone.

Ever notice how fast Windows runs? Me neither.
 
Visual Studio Installer 1.0 and then 1.1 were released in the years after VB6 came out. These replace the PDWizard, but they also require a license for VB6 Pro or Enterprise.

You're asking about "editions" not "versions.

Look for Wix, Advanced Installer, and MakeMSI.

You want your install to be as simple and easy as possible. For that reason I purchased InstallShield Express. I know others who prefer the Wyse installer.

These developer tools do make life a lot easier for product delivery
