    Packaging Vb6 application

    I am to package my vb6 application with installsheild

    I intend my target OS to be winXP, Vista, 7 ....

    I don't know which redistrutable I should include in the package,
    Installshield list some of them but I can uncheck almost most of them except few

    I don't to have the least size for my package
    could I uncheck some of them if XP and higher windows already have these?

    please specefy which I need and which not

    - MicroSoft C runtime library
    - // common Dialog control 6 (// means as the same above = Microsoft here)

    - // component category management
    - // Data Access component MDAC27ENU
    - // OLE 2.4 for Windows NT, 95 (can I conclude I dont need this?)
    - // Rich Textbox control 6
    - Visual Basic Virtual Machine
    - Microsoft Common Control 5
    - Microsoft Common Control 6


    Thanks
