Do you mean you have a .NET program and you call the VB6 through a primary interop assembly or do you just mean that you created an installer for your VB6 program using a Visual Studio Deployment Project?<br><br>You probably are just having COM registration and/or external dependency problems where something isn't getting detected, authored and installed correctly.<br><br>Without seeing your actual files, it's hard for me to say exactly what's wrong.Christopher Painterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167478740431444267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985159635193633235.post-55339772241012886212007-05-18T16:34:00.000-07:002007-05-18T16:34:00.000-07:00Thanks a lot for your reply.

So in order to my VB6 app to use .NET functions I use a wrapper (a .TLB file and a .DLL file). This is so far complicated. <br><br>I used the following article:<br><br>http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa719107(VS.71).aspx<br><br>I am trying to create an InstallShield based installer, but the .NET component doesn't work. The only way I could make an installer for my app was using a Installation Project in VS2005 which loads all references, creates and .MSI file and installs my only VB6 app magically (Even when my app is VB6 app, and uses a .NET component).<br><br>Maybe I'm not using the terms correctly. What I need is to build an InstallShield based Installer, because I want to package several programs (most of them writen in VB .NET) in one only Installer. InstallShielld, installs everything fine except my VB6 proyect. <br><br>Thanks for your patience.<br><br>If you want me to. I can send you the component. I would require an email address.Luis Cardenasnoreply@blogger.com
