OLE DB Files deployment ?

Hi,

I have written an application in VB6 with foxpro as back end. I have used the OLE DB provider files after downloading it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro . I have created setup files using VB installer.

When I install the application in my PC it works fine,but if it is installed in different PC it says OLE DB provider not found..Not able to connect to database. After installing OLE DB provider in that PC,it works.

Is there any way,the OLE DB provider file downloaded from the above said link can be made part of setup , so that OLE DB need not be installed separately in each PC ? Will it get installed automatically in target PC after doing so ?

Thanks.

Well no, not unless you want to modify the Package and Deployment Wizard code.

Since the PDW is a bit outdated and you will likely encounter some issues installing Windows files on newer versions of the OS you may want to consider an alternative:
