Can VB create self-extracting executables?

el_pagtalu.. #1 / 5	Can VB create self-extracting executables? Hi, I currently have a VB program that saves and copies Excel files to a web server. From the web server, these files are accessed by users via an intranet as links. However, since they are excel files, they are being opened up from inside the web browser. I believe the solution is to create self- extracting exe's and save them to these directories, but is there a way - maybe some library or user control - for VB to create self- extracting exe's from existing files. Thanks in advance for your help. Sincerely, El Pagtalunan Sent via Deja.com http://www.--*.com/ Before you buy.

However, I need to create self- extracting executables of these files for distribution. Can VB create self-extracting executable files from existing files - maybe through some library of user control? Thanks in advance for our help.

The main problem from my viewpoint is that the needed objects ( OCX's and /or DLL's) cost too much for most hobby programmers. If you are part of a company, the cost is not too bad I guess. I just have problems forking out some $300 dollars or more for this option. You take a look at the functions offered and decide for yourself if this route is for you. www.innermedia.com www.xceedsoft.com Quote: >Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ >Before you buy. HTH

Crai #4 / 5	Can VB create self-extracting executables? I don't care if my program self extracts but I would like it the program to start after it is done extracting. Is this possible. I want to have a form with control buttons to install a selection of programs I have written. I want the form to install itself using autorun.inf (off CDROM) but then after it has installed itself I want it to open up w/o the user doing anything. Thanks.

I use a program from the WinZip people. Works well and (if I recall correctly) cost about $25. Try http://www.winzip.com
