VB2005 Express Setup EXE - Deplyment

I do have another question. Sorry for being a pest.

In VB6, there is a deployment tool that creates a setup.exe program. That utility creates a setup.exe along with a *.cab file. I like to use this system to create a ZIP file so I can distribute my programs from my web site. I cannot seem to locate anything like this in VB2005 Express.

I did find something called "Publish To Web", but I use Yahoo! as my web host & VB2005 Express cannot post to there because of something about FrontPage...

Any ideas

Thanks in advance,

-Ron

    VB express does not have a setup project template. I would use publish my application to a folder on my local hard drive. In the How will my users install the application screen make sure from cd rom or dvd rom is selected. When the wizard is done put all the files in the folder you deployed to in a zip file and place it on your web site. Tell the users to run setup.exe to install the application

  • Ma?o

    How do you "locate" the actual EXE after you have installed the app

    I keep finding shortcuts (program reference) which is NOT the actual EXE.

    Or could it be that the .Net framework is the "engine" and all .Net compilers do is create

    a 'script', so to speak that interfaces with the .Net and it just appears as a program

    (or why recreate the same engine [exe] when it's already in the .Net)
