what files are required?

Hi,

When distributing a VB6 app, assuming the target computer does not and has never had any VB installed, what are the basic required files I need to distribute with my app, not including any additional controls? Just the bare minimum required..

Thanks,

Dan

The one file that HAS to be distributed with your app is MSVBVM60.DLL.
Other files include the referrenced libraries and ActiveX controls.

If you don't want to use the Package and Deployment Wizard (or the Setup Wizard for VB5) to distribute your app, you should at least use one of them and create a dependency file which will list the most of the files you need. It may miss files such as your databases, but it will for sure list all the system files needed.

That's why I asked the question initially.. I'm using ScriptMaker with Inno and if you have it automatically install needed VB files, it creates a whole long list of dll's and tlb's that I don't even need.. I just wanted to confirm that the bare min. I needed was the VB6 runtime and not all that other junk..
