• If you have a project open in InstallShield, do one of the following:
• On the Project menu, click Visual Basic 6.0 Wizard.
Chapter 23: Wizard Reference
Visual Basic Wizard
• In the View List under Specify Application Data, click Dependencies. Then click Import
Visual Basic Project.
• If you do not have a project open in InstallShield:
Welcome Panel
• On the File menu, click New. The New Project dialog box opens. Select the Visual Basic 6.0
Wizard project type.
The Visual Basic Wizard lets you import Visual Basic projects into your InstallShield project. The wizard
scans your project to determine potential file dependencies and displays the results of the scan, listing
the detected files that can be added to your project. You then have the option of adding that Visual Basic
project and its dependencies to your project.
Click Next to begin using the wizard.
Specify Visual Basic Project File Panel
The Specify Visual Basic Project File panel enables you to specify the Visual Basic project (.vbp or .vbg)
that you would like to import into your project.
Table 23-38: Specify Visual Basic Project File Panel Settings
Setting Description
Visual Basic 6.0 Project The wizard offers several ways to specify the project that you want to import:
Rebuild project before
scanning
• Select a recently used project from the list. This list shows recently used Visual
Basic projects—not necessarily the projects recently used by the Visual Basic
Wizard.
• Enter the fully qualified path to the project that you want to import.
• Click the Browse button and navigate to the project.
If you want to rebuild your project before the wizard scans it for dependencies, select
this check box. It is a good practice to rebuild the project just in case you have made
changes since the last time that you rebuilt it.
Filter files The Visual Basic Wizard may list as dependencies certain files that you do not want
added to your installation. For example, common system files that are already present
on target machines usually do not need to be reinstalled. To avoid having these files
added to your project when you run the scanner, select the Filter files check box.
To learn how to customize the list of files that are excluded from scans, see Filtering
Files in Dependency Scanners.
