Hi,
I've compiled a programme and the exe file works fine on my own machine. But when I copied it to a floppy and try to run on another machine without VB6, I can't run the programme, it said that I'm missing some kind of .dll, can I copy that .dll to the second machine so that the programme can run? where should I put the .dll then? Thanks.

Hello
Depending on what components and references you have made you could need several dll's. Just Write down the names of
the dll files that it wants, search for them on your VB machine and copy them to the same dir on the non-VB machine.
This is a pain in the ass, just use the Package & deployment Wiz guy and forget the prior.

Path...
If you have installed VB in the Program Files directory, go there
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\PDCMDLN.EXE
But, it must be in your start menu :confused:

Hey
When I first started, I couldn't find it either.
Go to Start (Windows Start Button) , Programs, Microsoft Visual Studio (or VB6) , Microsoft VB Tools. In there is the
Wiz guy.
may or may not be valid in your time zone?

P&D Wizard is on your start menu:-
Start-->Programs-->Microsoft Visual Studio 6-->Microsoft Visual Studio Tools-->Package & Deployment Wizard.
I'd highly recommend downloading the Visual Studio Installer though. It produces far better-looking installers than P&D Wizard, and you can add registry entries to your installation etc.
