This question is not as simple as the title makes it seem. We have multiple VB developers and have just implemented a new system of compiling and distributed application code. Basically we set up a computer that would be used to compile and build all application installation files. Here is my question.... Some of the developers, on their individual machines, have the ability to select multiple files at one time while adding files to the installation. Before I get a hundred responses saying "Hold down the shift key" know that I have tried this, also in conjunction with the ctrl key and it does not work. I am assuming that there is a setting somewhere on the individual computers that controls this, but try as we might none of us can find it. Any advice/help here would be greatly appreciated.

Puzzling. I think the PDWizard uses the standard Windows file dialog class. Do other file dialogs behave the same way? I know the VB CommonDialog accepts a flag ( cdlOFNAllowMultiselect=512) that determines whether or not multiple selections are allowed.

Have you checked the OS service packs and Visual Studio service packs on each machine?

I have checked all of the OS service packs, all of the developers are running the same version of NT and the same service packs, as well as the same visual studio service packs. All of my other dialog boxes, in NT, allow multiple selection. The ones I open through VB projects depend on the flag that you mention that I set per dialog box. I would think that the package and deployment wizard would be using the same values as NT, not the values set in VB since this is a stand-alone application distributed by Microsoft.
