I'm designing a new setup program and will include these things:
- writing to the reg
- copying files (Duh!)
- gradient backgrounds and titles
- no custom controls
- reads data from an XML document.

What else can I add?

You can't create a setup program using VB, because VB can't create standalone programs.

I know how to do this! All win2k and later systems have the ability to run old vb apps (VB4) it will be ok.

Will be some strange setup program, who wants an installer which only runs on Win2K and above??

Maybe he expects that it'll take so long to finish it, all older versions of Windows will be obsolete by then! :p

J/K, of course.
