    Setup packagers all have some form of runtime. Often they place it into a temporary folder during their bootstrap phase, other packagers rely on Windows Installer which is built into all supported versions of Windows (and installable into older unsupported versions).

    Even a simple self-extracting ZIP has a runtime of a sort.

    Is this a question about the packager's runtime or the VB runtime? Can you explain your needs in more detail?

    Oh I guess we should ask if you are looking for free or purchase types?
