    Run the Package & Deployment Wizard, or get Inno Setup and run that. Either one will create a package that will include the files you need as an install package.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    This is wrong way. I need to minimize the size of the setup file. And I know that some of this files is not required for systems like 2000/XP/2003/Vista.

    They are required I'm afraid... to ensure your program works, you need all of the files that it relies on, and you need to have certain versions of those files.

    Windows 2000 does not include appropriate versions of those files by default, so if you don't install them then you need to hope that somebody else has already.


    The method that Al42 suggested is not the wrong way at all - it is what you should be doing.
