help about the size of the setup.exe that vb creates It's huge isn't it ?!!

I want to declare the deletefile function from the winapi
and delete a file named for exapmple X in drive c
I know how to writ it but because I use a form for it when I make a setup.exe, msvbvm50.dll (vb version 5) is included how can I get rid of it because when included ( It is about 1.3 megabye) it makes the setup.exe very huge about 1.4 megabyte.
I would appriciate if you could help me
thank you very much

siincerely yours Rosana

juz uncheck that msvbm50 when packaging the setup file...

however, the prog may not be able to run on systems with vb runtimes

I have used DAO 3.5 and some ActiveX controls in my program. When i created a setup of it and included all runtime files and DA0 3.5 and other drivers, the file was a huge one of about 12.3MB. Looking at this I thought I should go in for VC++ rather than VB since C programs doesnt require so many runtime files.

I anyone knows a better alternative to it please help me.

Thanks.

I do all my VB installs with InstallShield for C++. It creates a nice, tidy package that can be spanned across disks if necessary.
Its pretty easy to learn the script language, and makes an install that looks very professional.

Otherwise, a simple VC++ program (with maybe one dialog) can fit on a floppy if necessary and move files, decompress files, and so on.
