Hello,

As with WinXP program installation by the user is forbidden, is there a way
to create setups for Com addins that would install them and register them.

I used VS 6.0 wizard which copy the files but it doesn't seems to register
the com addins dll!

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes for this new year.
 
Don't use the P&D Wizard installer, use a Windows Installer package.
You can do that with a limited version of the product that comes with
VS 6 or you can download Orca from the MS Web site for a somewhat less
obscure packaging agent. The best solution is to use a more
professional package from a vendor such as Wise or InstallShield.
 
Dittoing what Ken said.

I use Wise Installation System and while just a tad quirky every other
month, it's fabulous. Their support is EXCELLENT, as well.

Thanks for your answers.
I had a look on Wise product wich I found powerfull but a bit complicated
for what I wanted to do. I was looking for an easy to use tool has I just
wanted to be able to create simples packages.

I'll have a look at Orca and MSDN documentations on Windows Installer

Once again thanks for your help
 
I use InstallShield Express myself. It's a non-limited version (it can
do updates and run scripts and EXE's during installation and so on) of
the version of InstallShield that comes in VS 6.
