Visual Basic Setup Toolkit and SetupWizardThe following section is taken from the SetupWizard topic in the Visual Basic Help menu:SETUP.EXE is the bootstrap program provided by the Visual Basic Setup Toolkit in the KITFILES subdirectory. SETUP.EXE pre-installs files listed in SETUP.LST and then runs SETUP1.EXE. SETUP1.EXE is the Visual Basic setup program created by the SetupWizard. The source files for the Visual Basic Setup Toolkit's SETUP1.EXE file are in the SETUPKIT\SETUP1 subdirectory. SETUP.LST is a file required by SETUP.EXE. It allows files needed by your Visual Basic setup program to be pre-installed into the Windows System directory. SETUP.LST lists the files to be pre-installed by the SETUP.EXE bootstrap. Each line contains a single file. The Visual Basic setup program (SETUP1.EXE) must be the first entry. SETUP.LST is created automatically by the SetupWizard. The files in SETUP.LST can be compressed. Here is a sample SETUP.LST file: SETUP1.EX_ The Visual Basic SetupWizard is a tool used with the Visual Basic Setup Toolkit. The SetupWizard takes you through six steps to create master distribution disks for your Visual Basic application. The first time you run the SetupWizard, you are prompted for the location of several important files. This information is then kept in the SETUPWIZ.INI file in your Windows directory. The SetupWizard creates a standard SETUP1.EXE file based on the information in your .MAK file and the information you provide in the SetupWizard. The SetupWizard supports multiple disks and can split large files to fit on your disk media. NOTE: The SetupWizard is geared toward Visual Basic developers and is not a general Windows Setup Tool. Use the GUI Setup Toolkit provided in the Windows SDK. The SetupWizard is designed to handle most setup scenarios that a Visual Basic developer may encounter. Some scenarios may require you to create a custom SETUP1.EXE file. The SetupWizard is not a diskcopy tool. Use MS-DOS's DiskCopy or File Manager's Disk Copy Disk menu choice to make copies of your master distribution disks. REFERENCESSee the SetupWizard topic in Visual Basic's Help menu.
