Make VB6 Action uses Project Name as Executable Name

[ecorcoran]

I am using the Make VB6 action to build a VB6 project. The Project Name and the executable to generate are not named the same. The Visual Basic Project is named: FS_Debug. Inside the Visual Basic project file, the executable name to generate is: fsDebug.dll (ExeName32="fsDebug.dll").
When Visual Build Pro builds the project, the executable that is generated is named: FS_Debug.dll. The executable file should be: fsDebug.dll

It appears that Visual Build Pro does not recognize the ExeName32 property.

Is it possible to override this behavior?

The Make VB6 action does not determine the executable filename, it ultimately invokes the VB6 compiler on the VBP to generate it.

See the attached example which demonstrates this (extract the files to a folder and run the TestBuild.bld file, which builds a basic ActiveX exe project with a different exe name than the project name [which is specified in the VBP file]).

If you are not seeing this behaviour, please post or send us the .bld file and the .vbp file in question and we'll take a look.
