Martin,
I'm involved in the distribution of a MapX/VB6 product (was VB5) and I use
the Package and Deployment Wizard that comes with VB6. VB6 comes with a
project called Setup1 and by modifying this project, you modify the
installation package you produce with the wizard. I modified the project to
handle things like entering the required MapX registry keys and shelling out
to 'regsvr32.exe' to register 'MapX30.ocx' (because the OCX does not
self-register correctly otherwise). It took a while to get into it, but its
nice having full conrol over the installation interface - for example I
added a check-box to the installation interface so that the user can choose
whether or not to install example data with the application.
Good luck,
Richard Burkmar.

In the past, I have used InstallShield Express to install my MapX/VB
applications, but I would like to know what other MapX developers
use, and what product the group would recommend....
Thanks
