How to Make a Program Group in PDW VB6
The Visual Basic (VB) 6 Program Group is a feature within the Package and Deployment Wizard, which helps you create an installation package for users to deploy the VB software you developed. The Wizard creates a Start Menu item of your software and the Program Group feature lets you edit information about that Start Menu item. The Wizard has a graphical interface and is simple and direct. Novice as well as experienced VB developers can use it to put the finishing touches on their software packages.
