Self Contained exe

[TheRock]

Hello to anybody who can help,

I have created my first VB project, however my exe file does not run in every environment. Apparentely, I need to include a run-time library, so the executable can run in every Windows environment. How is this done?

Sincerely,

TheRock

you can use an Installer program, one is available for free at http://www.jrsoftware.org
or you can buy Fusion from http://www.bit-arts.com Fusion isnt an installer program, but it staticly links all of the runtimes along with your program, so it doesnt need the library's.......

I'm still not sure why you wouldn't just select Compile to Native Code in the compile tab of the Project Properties dialog box? It works just fine for me and I've seen this posted several hundred times in various boards and newsgroups each with a different answer and none stating what I did. VB5 introduced it and it works fine on all the systems that use my programs.
