Running VB application on System without VB?
All of my VB applications have been done for fun and for my own use. I compile & run them from the Visual Studio environment.
Some friends of mine have seen a few of my applicatons and would like to run them on their systems.
I have never atempted to Package an application for use on another system. Will the Package & Deployment Wizard do a good job? I am going to try to hack the Wizard first and then look at the MSDN Help Files I have.
Any hints at how to get started would be appreciated.
What if the Target system runs Windows 95, XP, 2K, or another OS instead of Windows 98 SE (My OS).? Will there be problems?
What about different Video controllers? I assume that this will not be a problem. Will running at a different resolution or color mode cause a problem? I intend to experiment a bit with this on my system, but would welcome advice.
If I experiment on my system in the Visual Studio environment and the applicaiton seems to work okay, will this indicate that the deployed application will also work okay with changes in screen resolution & color mode?
I hope at least some of the above can be answered, and I will appreciate any advice I can get. I like to hack, but do not really want to reinvent the wheel.
