What support files do I absolutely need?

[MSquirley]

I created my programme using VB5. I assumed that other than OCX files, MSVBVM50.DLL was the only support file that I needed to distribute with the programme. (I want to include all files not included with a bare-bones Windows 95 setup that my programme will need.) Just to be sure, I ran Application Setup Wizard - I'm not going to use it to distribute my programme, but I wanted to look at the list of dependency files it generated. It came up with a bunch of OLE DLL files and other junk. Do I really need these?

Can somebody please list the files required by a VB programme? Also, my programme also uses COMCTL32.OCX and COMDLG32.OCX. Do those OCX files require any DLLs not included with Windows?

as far as I know, MSVBVM50.DLL, OLE32.DLL, OLEAUT32.DLL, and maybe 1 or 2 more OLE DLL's.

I'm writing my own installer. The OLE files are listed as in the VB SETUPKIT directory not in the Windows SYSTEM directory. Why?

Also, do I need to figure out how to make my installer register COMCTL32.OCX and COMDLG32.OCX? It used to be that you could just copy the files.....

Please help!

Look at the code in the Setup1.vbp project. It will show you how everything is done by the VB Installer.

Yes, you need everything that the setup wizard says you do. Why not use it to distribute your program?
