InstallAware

I've been using the VB6 Package & Deployment Wizard and when it comes to registering files, I just don't have to think about it, the wizard just takes care of it for me. Therefore I don't really know if my dll and ocx files are self-registering or not. How can you tell?

Also, if I use the Import feature on version 1.0 and then on version 2.0 I am distributing the same dll but the binary compatibility has been broken. Do I then have to delete the prior registry entry and import a new one?

I'm really looking for a strategy that will not require me to understand the internals of registering dlls, I just really want to include the dll or ocx and let the installer handle the rest. Is that possible?

Thanks again.

Hi Jim,

Yes you can indeed do that. What you want to do is add the files in the Files design view, one by one, and then right click each and Edit their properties to check the self-registering check-box.
