'------------------------------------------------------ 'How To: Upgrade Compiled VB Program 'Posted: 26-July-98 '------------------------------------------------------ Q: I`ve created a VB 5.0 program...I want to make an upgrade file that will upgrade the previous version of my program, to the newer one -so the people who downloaded the previous version of my program, won`t have to download the entire program again- only the upgrade file. Can I make an upgrade file?   A: If you have not used any new dll, ocx or other controls that were not previously installed when you wrote the earlier version, then you can simply overwrite the exe. I would probably have the user move the older exe to a temp directory, then save the new exe in it`s place. When the user is satisfied the new exe works, delete the old exe.   If you have used new components, you might use the setup wizard to create an upgrade. This will register new dll`s, ocx`s, etc.   Ken Whiteman   Downloads In IE right-click and select 'Save Target As...' or in Netscape right-click and select 'Save Link As...'    View Plain Text  Not Available  Not Available
