Setting up an installer to install a VB app on an NT Server 4.0

Hi All

I've always hated the package & deployment installer that comes with VB 6
Enterprise, so I'm looking to use the Inno installer instead.

However my problems are as follows:

1) I have created a small app that to me only use the INET control and the
FileSystemObject reference. My idea was to package the app using the
standard pants package and then pull the files out that it packages for my
own installer. Is this an OK method?

2) Apart from the above controls that I have just mentioned, will I need to
package the VB run time file(s) for the NT 4.0 Server - Service Pack 5 (US)
PC that it is going on? Are there any problems or known pitfalls with me
installing my VB 6 enterprise UK app on this kind of machine? SQL Server
2000 UK seems to run on it fine.

3) Is the FileSystemObject just part of the usual run-time files? It
doesn't seem to have it's own control file like the INET.OCX does.

4) Does anybody have any examples on how to create an Inno script for this
type of thing for NT 4.0 SERVER? (long shot I know).

Many thanks.
