SUMMARY

This document provides development notes for the Visual C++ 6.0 (SP4) runtime module that is used with Setup Factory 6.0.

DISCUSSION

Module Description

All programs developed with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 require a set of core runtime files in order to run. When this runtime module is added to a Setup Factory 6.0 project, the appropriate core set of files will be installed with your application.

Developer Notes

The Setup Factory 6.0 Visual C++6.0 runtime support module installs all the necessary runtime components for Visual C++ 6.0 service pack 4. The Visual C++ runtime support module installs the following files:

If any of the files on the user’s system are newer the runtime module will not overwrite them. The files installed by the Setup Factory 6.0 Visual C++ runtime support module will not be removed when your application is uninstalled.

These files will not be installed on Windows 2000 or Windows ME. On those two operating systems the Visual C++ runtime components can only be updated by Microsoft, via service packs.

The Setup Factory 6.0 Visual C++ 6.0 runtime support module will often require your user’s computer to be rebooted before certain files can be installed. If this is necessary %NeedsReboot% will be set to TRUE and the “Needs Reboot” screen will be displayed to your user.
