    Another rookie question for you guys...

    Do I have to package up my small program and go through all the hassle of the usual software installation stuff or can I simply package up a portable executable? I was given a small exe file that was written in C++ and I don't have to go through all the hoops, I just run the executable, admittedly it's a small utility, but is that possible in VB?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunatly no...unlike C++ vb requires a couple of runtime files that you should include with your software, you would also have to include any controls that you have used in the development of the application. That is where P&DW comes in...it will package all the needed dll's and ocx's into 3 files that you can distribute.

    Hope that helps,
