Is it too much to ask? How hard is it really to add these hated runfiles to Windows?
While it is just a tiny thing to add to Windows it a GIANT thing to a 12kb application.
I would to like to send my program to people without run-files and with no setup packs, this can be easily arranged so why not?
I am not talking about all the OCXs ever existed but the most default ones as winsock should be included too, don't Microsoft think it will help us?

One thing, updating the runfiles maybe needed but isn't it easy to add some internet based update to Windows? A lot of programs do it, why can't the OS update the runfiles for once and save thousands of wasted MB to the programmers?

Geez.
