Does anyone have a link or a way that I can combine all my program dependcies into one exe. Ex. I have an app to give to joe-bob, I want to just give him the exe and have it work correctly

You have a couple of choices.
1) you can use the P&DW to package all your files into a setup file (3 files). And it comes with VB. Just look through the folder in the start menu.
2) you can get inno setup (do a search on it on the forums) and it is a pretty good setup making utility.
Hope that helps,

You can just use the P&D Wizard, but it makes a couple of files. If that's a problem use InnoSetup from http://www.jrsoftware.org/, it's pretty cool. (&free)
If you don't want an installer you could download a trial version of Fusion at http://www.bit-arts.com/

In VB5 you can use the Application Setup Wizard (shipped with VB5), and I think it's doesn't matter you're using Windows NT
I need it to be one exe, the prob is that app setup makes like 20 depency files. How about that exe w/all the dpencies contained? can i do that? (Ive tried fusion before)
makes like 20 depencies?
You mean you got like 20 ocx's or is it creating 20 files.
If the files are the problem use InnoSetup, it will create 1 exe file with an installer, if you want 1 file (and no installer), then why Fusion isn't working?
Fusion doesnt work because
A) It costs 200$
B) The trial names the exe bitarts_trial and you cant change it
C) My trial expired
Also by 20 dep I meant like 15 files you have to distribute
So inno should work??
yeah, it works for me, it makes a relative small EXE (Installer) and is very configurable..
btw do you know C++? I had a small question and people are ignoring that board
No sorry, but ask the Question anyway, maybe someone answers it or maybe I'm able to figure out the answer by look at the net.
nm, i found it
