Use Visual Studio Installer instead!

    I keep seeing people post on the forums about P&D issues, P&D Wizard was great when VB6 first arrived (around 98) but after Microsoft invested in MSI (Windows Installer) P&D was pointless.

    To save yourself (and your users) the trouble switch to using Visual Studio Installer 1.1 or one of the other freely available installers such as InnoSetup or NSIS Installer. You'll find that these tools are more robust and alot more user-friendly than the older v3.x versions of the installer shell/runtime that P&D uses.

    I hope that helpsBig Smile [:D]
