    Making a setup in vb6.0

    Hi friends, i have created a game in vb6.0. I want to make a setup file for it running in all PCs.I have referred to about 135 files(including picture,databas e,sound files) in my code i.e,i use those files in run time.All those files are within a folder 'support'..I think it is required to add this folder while creating setup,but the wizard doesnt allow a folder to be added(only files can be added)-am i required to add all 135 files one by one(I tried it but the setup doesnt work)?How do i do it?

    Hi vdraceil

    Better use other setup utility tools. Try www.download.co m for free software

      Use some setup softwares like setup factorry or install shield instead of building your own.

          I don't know about install shield but Setup Factory supports VB 6 and 5 codings.
          Do your all coding, make exe of your game and add all your files your game need in your Setup Factory project and build the software.
          I have also made my apps setup program using Setup Factory 6.

          Any problem I'm here.
          GOODLUCK

            If you trust me then send me your exe file and your game needed files and their work I'll make a setup program for it and send it to you.
