Are you using InnoScript 2.3? The latest version is 3.1.4 and you find the VB 6 Redist Files folder inside the folder you installed innoScript into.
 
The difference is that the VB 6 Redist Files and the VB6 Runtime files are the latest versions of these files are in the VB 6 Redist Files folder.

mosquitout,

Yes, there are very big diffences. Go to Support Board (https://randemsystems.support) then to InnoScript - Release History to find out what the differences are.

I don't understand the possibility of using  'template script' ? that means i have to get first one template ? where ?  
Sorry i just start with inno and that seems not easy at beginning. (And my english doesn't help!)

mosquitout,
 
Look at the help file it should help with some things. A sample template file is included with your installation (.tpl) and there is one in the documentation. It is for adding things and settings to your project to override what is created by default or to add things that InnoScript does not support.

Ok, thanks a lot, i saw the exemle and it helped a lot. Well now when i compile my project with Innosetup, i get this error msstdfmt does not exist !. I read about thoses files we should never take them from our system, so i imagine this is why the script automatically suggest to take them from our application file. Ok but how getting them to our application file ? can i simply copy them from c:winntsystem32msstdfmt.dll to my app ?
Or if i can't how can i get them ?
Or may be i have to put lines generated (including thoses dll) in commentary ?
Would it work ?
Many thanks for your answers.

There is an UnSafe Mode that you can use and it will take from the system folder, however Inno Setup may not like them from there. If you copy the file to another folder that is the same thing, but inno Setup will like that.
 
The reason for doing these acrobatic is to get you to actually do the research to find out if these files will cause problem on your target system.
 
Just copying them will solve one problem but you may very well create the problem we are attempting to get you to avoid in the first place.

Well, I'm a newbie at VB6 and InnoScript.  I've learned to program VB6 just for one program and that's it! I've designed a program to use DAO 3.51 and an Access 97 database.  
When I use the P & D Wizard, it generates a Support folder.  Where do these support files come from? Can I point to them for InnoScript to use?
 
InnoScript 3.1.4

nbcathy,
 
Why would you need to use the PDW Support folder? InnoScript will find all the files for you. You can however put the support folder in your InnoScript Path Area and have InnoScript look for files there.

Well, I was just following the question of how to find 'safe' files.  There would be 8 files missing if I didn't point to this folder.

nbcathy,

They are missing for a reason, they can be found. Please read the instructions on Unsafe/Safe Mode and the implications.
