Greetings,
Is it necessary to distribute all of these DLL files for a VB6 application targeted at Win9x through Vista?
I'm finding my testers are always asked to reboot after the install.
TIA

ole2disp.dll
ole2nls.dll
oleaut32.dll
olepro32.dll
storage.dll
typelib.dll
usp10.dll
stdole2.tlb
asycfilt.dll
comcat.dll
compobj.dll
mfc40.dll
mfc42.dll
ole2.dll

Your question may have been answered by this FAQ.
Moved to Application Deployment forum
Whether or not those files are necessary depends on your program (some are needed for all VB apps, some I haven't seen before). Most installation creation programs (such as Package & Deployment Wizard) will tell you which files your program needs.
As to whether you should actually install all of the files, it does depend on the version of Windows - for Vista it is recommended that you don't install certain files (there is a link in the article that Marty referred to).
No!!!!!
This is confusing. mfc40.dll, for example, shows up as a dependency for a control I'm using. How is one supposed to know if this file can be distributed or not?
********** Knows, You can use it's Unsafe file to check or you can do the research.
Thanks!
