[RESOLVED] [VB6] - Minimum required runtime files?

I use a 3rd party program to make the installer (Easy Install Creator). But I first use VB's Package & Deployment wizard to easily put all of the necessary files into one folder which makes things quicker.

But then there are also files that are not needed since they are just for the P&D setup wizard. I'm trying to figure out just the necessary files.

In this case, an empty VB project with no controls/extra references added.

Here is the list of files that I'm unsure of:

ASYCFILT.DLL

Microsoft OLE 2.40 for Windows NT(TM) and Windows 95(TM) Operating Systems

COMCAT.DLL

Microsoft Component Category Manager Library

OLEAUT32.DLL

Microsoft OLE 2.40 for Windows NT(TM) and Windows 95(TM) Operating Systems

OLEPRO32.DLL

Do I need any of those? I was thinking I need the OLE ones but according to the Project -> References menu, the OLE Automation reference uses VB6.OLB.

I think those are core components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290887

Thanks Rhino, so I guess I need all of them.

You MUST also include

6.0.81.69 VB5DB.DLL

If you use any Bound Data Controls.
