I write small .exe applications and give them to my friends to play with. Almost every time they first load one of them on their PC they get a "missing DLL" message. Seems they need MSVBVM60.dll to run them. Why is that?
I have found out that this file is Microsoft Visual Basic Virtual Machine Version 6, but why should a supposed "stand alone" executable need an additional DLL, particularly as I only use the standard Controls?
This is quite a large DLL, what does it do? I have searched my list of API calls and cannot see any that come from this DLL?

the file is the runtime file of VB...if a machine does not have VB on it it needs these files to create a workspace etc for your exe program to operate in....sucks..but that's the heart of the matter...IE. in my opinion they should be part of the windows enviroment since it's all MS anyway.

That's why VB is called a ... wait for it ... DLL-dependent language. I needs its own DLLs. And if you think that sucks learn C++ OR buy everybody in the world Windows 2000 which already has the vb6 runtimes installed.
