SUMMARY
The Setup Wizard in Visual Basic version 3.0 creates SETUP1.EXE that when executed displays a blue background with white letters that say: "<EXE NAME> Setup," where <EXE NAME> is the name of your application. This article explains how to change that message to something other than the default.
MORE INFORMATION
To change the display of <EXE NAME>, follow these steps:
- Run the Setup Wizard as you normally would to create installation disks.
- Start Visual Basic and load the project SETUP1A.MAK (The Setup Wizard created this project in the C:\VB\SETUPKIT\SETUP1 directory).
- In the General Declarations section of SETUP1A.FRM, change the value of constant APPNAME:
Const APPNAME = "<Whatever you want to put here>" - From the File menu, choose Make EXE to create the file SETUP1.EXE.
- Exit to MS-DOS.
- Copy and compress the file SETUP1.EXE to your distribution disk.
This will copy over the old SETUP1.EX_ that was created on the distribution disk by the Setup Wizard.
