References

What is the difference between a Reference and Component from the Project Menu?

If I add a Reference (such as Regular Expressions) to a Visual Basic project, do I need to distribute the DLL or OCX related to that Reference along with the EXE?

How is that different from Project -> Components? For which I know components require that I distribute the OCX file of any additional components (i.e. vb controls) I add to a project.

Also is there a way to tell if a Reference I'm including (like Microsoft VBScript regular Expressions 5.5) for VB6 project is part of a basic install for Windows XP?

If it isn't then I'll know to include it in my distribution file (MSI package).

Why don't you just use the P&D wizard or Inno/Inno Script and let it decide what to include?

Oh and even if you don't want to use the P&D Wizard to create a set of installation files, one of it's options is to instead just create a dependency list.
