packaging projects question(and self contained EXEs)

[dognosh]

hi guys,new here
been writing VB(using VB6) for 2 years now,still a noob,mainly in the field of comms ,simple file manipulation and data handling,so nothing like rocket science or juggling midget african elephant fleas

also i did look at FAQ and i did a search but i didn't find my answer

i am doing a new project with a small difference to my previous ones.
all my previous software where written using the package and deployment wizard i made the setup files for distribution
which is fine but now i have a new mandate,write a piece of software that doesn't require the setup thing,as in keep everything self contained(obviously except the vbrun dlls ? )

this simple project requires microsoft comm control and microsoft rich textbox control DLLs which i presume are registered when using setup(package and deployment wizard files)

so is there any way of incorporating the 2 controls above in to my EXE or do i have no choice but to go the route of the proper install?

p.s. i did make an exe and try it on an XP machine that has never had any VB installations on it and it cried fowl wanting a DLL

thanks
