Hello, I have a question as I am distributing a application, I am using a third party OCX, what would be the best course of action to share the program as the end user may not have this ocx.
Will the application still launch if the OCX file in located in the applications folder? If not, how can I ensure the application will run properly for the end user?
As your title states you need to build a "Distribution" package using any available utility. Package & Deployment Wizard (aka P&DW) that comes shipped with VB works for me best - very basic and simple tool. Also, it comes with full source written in VB.
In most cases all necessary files are included for you by the wizard but you still need to make sure everything is in there. Also, files like txt, mdb, ini, etc won't be included automatically so you will neeed to do that manually - just follow simple instructions on the screen.
BTW, in case you didn't see it there is a Application Deployment forum.
