I really really hate having to distribute a 1.5mb setup package to install my program when my program is only 30kb, especially because a lot of my clients are on dialup.

Is there an online installer that simply checks if the runtime files are properly installed on a computer, and downloads the vb runtime files ONLY if they are not?

That way I can distribute a 150k app that will connect to the internet and download required files.

Anyone know of a good one?

This has been posted before I think but no answers.. surely after 10+ years of vb (and microsoft not including the runtimes on peoples computers) someone has created such a simple, elegant solution to prevent all vb apps having to be coupled with the runtime files?
