Lightweight deployment

[oaky-doke]

Hi - when deploying my app, do I need to include all of the dependencies, or is it safe to assume that some will be present on the target machine? I am assuming Windows XP only will be used. I'm trying to keep the download size down.

The dependencies that Visual Studio Installer picks up are:

comcat.msn
msvbvm50.dll
msvbvm60.msn
msvcrt.msn
oleaut32.msn
riched32.dll
richtx32.ocx
scrrun.dll

Thanks

I would suggest that you include them all, it will not hard the program and then you can be shure that the program will have the components it needs to run while if you did not include them all then there is a chance that the machine will not have the correct components and thus will fail to run your program

Cheers,

oaky-doke,

How do you know that you have all the dependencies that you need? Did you use a utility to tell you. What are you using for an installer? ********** can tell you all the dependencies that your project has.
