You *don't* want to use a VB-based program as an installer. Before a VB program
can run, all the VB-runtime files have to be installed. This means that the
setup program has to install multi-megabytes of *system* files before the user
sees anything useful. With the possibility of requiring a reboot mid-install.
It's *not* pretty.
Wise InstallMaster would be a good choice for your task. So would that other
major installation-builder program whose name I can't remember right now.
