INFO: Misleading Location for VBCE Application Install Wizard

ID: Q181034

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0

SUMMARY

The source code project for the VBCE Application Install Wizard is located in the same folder as sample VBCE projects. However, the Application Install Wizard is not a VBCE sample application and is designed to run on the regular Windows desktop.

MORE INFORMATION

Sample VBCE projects are located in the following subfolders:

Visual Basic 5.0: <DevStudio folder>\VB\VBCE\Samples
Visual Basic 6.0: <Microsoft Visual Studio>\VB98\VBCE\Samples

The Setup subfolder is also in the Samples folder, which has the source code project (Setup1.vbp) for the Application Install Wizard. The Application Install Wizard can be used to create a custom installation program for VBCE applications.

The Application Install Wizard project is a regular Visual Basic 5.0 or 6.0 project, not a VBCE project. Many of the components in the Application Install Wizard, such as non-variant variables, etc., are not usable in VBCE projects.
