>>I use certain activeX controls that say they require certain DLLs to be present. If I include these DLLs in the setup will the Wizard check for newer versions on the target machine or just overwrite regardless?? Thanks in advance.

If the .DLLs are put in place with the CopyFile verb, I don't believe they're checked. This is one reason why I use InstallShield for most of my installation process; MS has not provided us a great deal of information on the command language for the Setup Wizard installs as far as I can tell, and the little I've learned about hacking the STF file has convinced me that InstallShield is easier for me to use. I don't rely on Setup Wizard for anything other than the runtime installation.

So do you use the Setup Wizard first, and then have the wizard run your InstallShield install automatically? Thanks for the feedback.
