The wizard shows that the AlarmClock.exe file is a dependency of the Alarmclock.vbp file. In addition,
the following merge modules are dependencies:
• DAO 3.50
• Microsoft OLE 2.40 for Windows NT and Windows 95 Operating Systems
• Microsoft Standard Data Formatting Object DLL
• Visual Basic Virtual Machine
Select the check boxes for the file and each of the merge modules. Then click Next to implement these
changes. When the wizard makes the changes to the installation project, click Finish.
Note: The merge modules may not be present on your system. To download the required merge modules: In the View List
under Specify Application Data, click Redistributables. Right-click any InstallShield prerequisite, merge module, or
object and then click Download All Required Items.
Configuring General Information Settings

Because this installation project was created by the Visual Basic Wizard, there was no opportunity to set
these properties earlier. The General Information properties include the name of your company, the
name of the product, and the default installation directory.
Task To set the general information properties:
1. In the View List under Organize Your Setup, click General Information.
2. Configuring the following settings.
