Hi, I made a certain program (you don't need to know what it does, etc.) Anyway, the problem is that I want to be able to send the thing to a person and they download it and when they double-click on it, it doesn't run a setup program, but it just runs. The setup utility that comes with VB5 simply installs the runtimes and OCXs, is there a way to automatically include them into the program EXE, so you only have to deal with 1 EXE? Thanks, and keep in mind, the program must be able to also carry MSWINSCK.OCX.
Thanks,

P.S. Please email me ([email protected]) or ICQ me (3070199) for the answer. Thanks again...

Unfortunately, the ease and small size or VB exe's is a trade off of those runtimes. Unless you want to wite a program in C++, delphi, or whatever else that installs and registers your controls and runtimes, you're stuch with what you got.
You could however, modify the Setup1.exe project so that after the dialog box that says "Please wait copying files..." (the setup.exe file) you could have the setup1.exe file run hidden and copy the remaining files without a user seeing anything other than that initial dialog.
