I have made a simple app to calulate UK VAT. It has 1 form. After I created the .exe file, I ran pdcmdln.exe (Package / Deploy). This created... setup.exe, vat.cab, set.lst and a folder named 'support'. In total they are nearly 12 meg which seems way too high for such a small app doing such a simple task.

During the Package / Deploy process I got a few windows about dependancies and being unsure what was needed, I left them all at the default. One mentioned my app using ODBC which as this is database related why would it be a dependency in my app?

Anyway, my question is, which of these 12 meg worth of files do I give to someone else for them to be able to run the app? Or maybe I should go through a re-package and make changes to dependencies / deselect certain dependencies?

Before I began using VB, I understood that in order to run a vb6 created app, that all I needed was the vbrun60.exe package. Can someone explain what the requirements are for both the vbrun60.exe files plus other dependecies please.

Thanks.
