You should use an installation program to figure out which DLLs your program requires.
Runtime dll for datareports is MSDBRPTR, which depends on MSStdFmt.dll and ComCat.dll.
I dont know much about installation..can you tell me something more about that..so i have to include only these 3 dll files and things would work fine on any windows operation system 98 onwards..thx
Moved to Application Deployment.
You can use the built in installation package that comes with VB. It is the Package and Deployment Wizard and can be accessed under Add-Ins from the VB IDE.
If it is not an option under Add-Ins, then click on Add-In Manager.
Find the Package and Deployment Wizard, check it, check the Load checkboxs and it will be added to your add-in menu.
When you select it, it will walk you through creating an installation and setup package.
do i have to select the load/unload check box..and then i package it with the wizard..also if i am using crystal reports..how do i include its instalation files..thax
Kamran,
If you want you can use ********** , it will automatically find all the dependencies that you need for you app to work.
