publish VB gui + external dos .exe

[nahum_barnea]

Hi.

I have a VB (2005 Express) GUI that activates an external "dos" .exe
file.

I want to "publish" the software (VB GUI + external dos .exe) to a
setup file,
that the user will install.

How can I make the setup file aware that the external dos .exe must be
placed
in a specific location (that is where the VB GUI to be installed)?


Thanks,
NAHUM

Nahum,

IMO asking setup project in this newsgroup is a complete waste of time

If the DOS app is installed in the same place then just add to the output
directory. If it has to be placed in a different location you need to create the
directory structure of that location unless a special folder where you can add
easily

Remember if the destination directory doesn't exist the use Always Create in the
properties...

Hi.
Thanks for the response.
Can you direct me to a more suitable newsgroup?

Sorry, but there is no real newsgroup that will create a setup project.

The only place I have seen people get help has now been closed down & that was
the Got Dot New VB.NET forum

In my original post I gave you the basic idea of how to do what you wanted
