    Talking What is dependency file - VB6

    hi all,
    can somebody explain me what exactly is a dependency file, the ones we see in PDW and what is its importance? I know this may be a stupid question, but still it is better to learn than be stupid forever...

    Good attitude...

    A dependency file is a file that is needed by another file so that it can run. Meaning that if you attempt to use one file and it relies on another and it does not exist then that file will not function properly.

    How do one know what file a dll requires. for eg. there is one CGZiplibrary.dll, every time the PDW warns that there in no dep for this file. If so how do I go about creating a dep file, meaning what are the things I should take into consideration while creating a dep file.

    Try ********** and Inno Setup they create less of a fog about things like that.

    assuming I stick to PDW then how I go about the job? I have nothing against Inno but just that I want to know how things work, instead of blindly shifting to one or other installers..sorry if I had hurt you.

    PDW looks for .dep files to tell it what to do. If you don't have one you are out of luck...
