How To Run Setup1.vbp in the Design EnvironmentLast reviewed: November 26, 1996Article ID: Q159860 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYYou can customize the installation program created by the Setup Wizard by modifying the Setup1.vbp project in the \Vb\Setupkit\Setup1 directory. However, you cannot run or debug this project in the Visual Basic Design Environment unless you emulate the behavior of the compiled setup routine. NOTE: Microsoft Technical Support does not support the modification of the setup process or any of the setup files. Support is provided for the Setup Wizard on an "as is" basis only.
MORE INFORMATIONBefore you can run Setup132.exe, the Setup.exe program must copy certain files to their destination directories (all files listed in the "[Bootstrap]" section of the Setup.lst file). Setup.exe also creates an uninstall log file that is used by Setup1.exe for 32-bit applications. It also copies Setup1.lst to your \Windows directory so that it will not be swapped out. Setup.exe invokes Setup1.exe with certain command line parameters. In order to run the Setup1 project in the Visual Basic Design Environment, these parameters must be set. Do this by launching the Visual Basic Design Environment from the Setup program and specifying your modified Setup1.vbp as a command line parameter. NOTE: The file Setup1.exe is created for a 16-bit application and Setup132.exe is created for a 32-bit application. The following example focuses on 32-bit applications, but can be readily adapted to 16-bit applications.
