Error.

I have made a chat program like aim and i tried to send the .exe to a friend and he gets the error
components 'mswinsck.ocx' or on of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
when he runs it. Have any idea?

You need to use the Package and Deployment wizard, or Inno Setup/Inno Script. Either one of these will create an installer, with all the necessary files that get installed on the machine before your app runs. See the Application Deployment forum for details.

I would personally suggest using the Microsoft Installer being that is extremely easy to use. Just add your VB Project and build the installer file. It is capable of writing to registry, creating shortcuts, etc., etc. very easily w/o any experience needed. It is freely available. VS6 SP3 or higher required.
