Hi guys. I have a few questions about Setup Factory. I'm new to this and haven't bought it yet.

I've looked all over the site for the price and i haven't found the price for Setup Factory.

What is the price of Setup Factory?

Does it come with MDAC 2.8 bundled so that it doesn't have to be installed separately from the app?

Does it work with both VB6 and .NET?

Less important questions
Does it allow for Desktop icons?
Logo on setup or installation screens?

Thanks! I look forward to using this product.

Hi,

You can find pricing information for all of our products (including Setup Factory) HERE (http://www.indigorose.com/store/edit.php)

In Setup Factory 7.0, MDAC 2.8 can be installed with your application using the MDAC 2.8 dependency module which can be found HERE (http://www.indigorose.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8484).

What that module will do is detect whether or not it is needed at the beginning of the install and then launch the MDAC install.

You can distribute applications created with any development tool with Setup Factory 7.0, however it only contains a project scanner for VB5 and VB6, not VB .NET.

Yes, you can certainly create desktop icons and include any images you want on the screens.

Hope that answers your questions.

What exactly does this mean?
"it only contains a project scanner for VB5 and VB6, not VB .NET."

Thanks!

It means that it will scan VB5 and 6 project files for dependencies but not .NET projects. That is not to say that you can't install .NET stuff with SUF70. It is just that in .NET all of your files and dependencies are built to the bin folder and are all in one folder so figuring our which ones to re-distribute should be pretty easy. This is as opposed to the "DLL ????" that VB5 and 6 struggle with.
