Hi,

I'm distributing a VB6 (SP2 or maybe 3) application onto NT and '95 clients 
using InstallShield Professionsal 5.53. The application uses lots of the 
common controls. Can anyone help me with these questions I can't seem to 
resolve from either the KB's or InstallShield support...

1. If I distribute the latest version of the common controls (mscomctl.ocx et 
al.) do I have to make provisions for comctl32.dll? I know I'm not supposed to 
distrubute this dll, but will the controls work without a recent version? I 
not, what should I do in the installation?

2. Mswinsck.ocx - InstallShield and the PDW give conflicting views on what I 
need to distribute for this control. InstallShield includes wsock32.dll, 
ws2_32.dll and ws2help.dll, the PDW doesn't. Should I be distributing these? 
If so, do I need to make OS provisions or is it safe just to dump these dll's 
onto NT and 95 machines regardless?

3. Richtx32.ocx - has anyone used InstallShield to install this? What did you 
do about riched32.dll which the documentation says should only be installed 
onto '95 clients?

4. Has anyone any experience of distributing the Crystal run-time viewer ocx 
(crystl32.ocx)? Any tips? Again, the PDW and InstallShield are giving me 
conflicting advice...

Any help greatly appreciated. I've not been impressed with InstallShield 
support so far (one line answers to two long emails, which didn't even answer 
the questions I raised...) so hopefully some of you guys will have come across 
these issues before.

Many thanks,
