icon Install Something

Need advice.   Trying to find a 32-bit installer package for my VB6 freeware program on vista, etc.  Everything I have so far discovered either requires a serious understanding of some script language or costs more than a hobby can afford.
Comments and suggestion really welcome!

I couldn't even install the VB6 IDE on vista....
there's potentially: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718352.aspx

(Microsoft Visual Studio Installer)

Thanks for the reply.  Don't think I can use an installer if it is only for .NET as am installing for VB6 applications.

P/S.  My VB6 including MS IDE did install/run Ok on Vista.

It's just an installer that probably uses the .NET framework.  You could install a text file if you wanted, or a link to a website -- what's being installed doesn't matter that much.

I used it back in 2000 to install VB6 applications all the time.

Thanks much!  I mis-understood what it did.  Have now downloaded & trying to understand.
