My deployment app is pretty much complete now, however i was wondering...
I have all the basic vb system files in my install but what about extra ones i added to my project? Like the dlls for my ADO sql connection and dlls for my data environment and reports?
Im assuming i do however that would mean adding alot more files and i dont want to be wasting time and space if they are unnecesary.
Thanks
you need to include any dependancy files your app may need to function properly...
in the case of having an ADO connection to a SQL Server database, you would need to distribute and have your installer run MDAC on the target PC to ensure the Microsoft Data Access Components needed for a VB app to interact with a SQL server are installed... many PCs will already have mdac, but you can't just assume they will...
