Well... I plan on realise most of my programs without installers, as the file size will be to big... but, the problem is, what if the users don't have the support files needed to run the program?
So... is it possible to make an app which could connect to my web site, download the support files if necassary, without having to be installed itself?
Not possible in VB.... could I use a batch file?
Actually, you could potentially be facing some legal issues. Many redistributables are only legally redistributable as part of your project, and making them available for separate download may well violate your license to distribute them.
Well... I mainly stick to use MS controls. I don't think they care all that much...
Not trying to make an issue of it, but the MS EULA specifically states otherwise.
Its your choice, of course.Quote:
you agree to: (a) distribute the Redistributables in object code form and only in conjunction with and as a part of a software application product developed by you using the product accompanying this EULA that adds significant and primary functionality to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT ("Licensed Product");
Well it will be part of the software.... I may well download both the support files and the exe at the same time... maybe I should use activeX?
Besides I don't really care what ms thinks anyway.
