Thanks Ralph, unfortunately the provided links are all dead. I need
something like a stripped down version of that Setup1.vbp.
The problem I see with this setup1.vbp is that is linked to the bootstrap
process lunched by the first exe. So I'll have to mimic those interactions,
but the code is so confusing, I don't know what to remove.
I can also make use of a technique (maybe using a tiny bootstrap executable)
that installs the VB6 Runtime and then lunch my custom/simple vb-made setup
application. I am not planning on using my custom setup to install system
files, or anything that has to do with the OS/System core.
I appreciate any help! Thanks!

The apparent convolution of Setup is actually by design. It was built to
be
modified and is expanded - much like you might take one of Rick's
one-liners
and stretch it out to its multi-line length. It offers multiple points of
'insertion' also a lot of dead code. Useful, but not very interesting or
pleasing.
Also appreciate it was initially written in VB4.
Check out mayayna's suggestions.
