    Hi,

    I have a program that can call up two separate setup program depending on which radio boxes is checked.

    My problem is this program is written in VB and it needs the .dll files from the setup program to run and I want to run this program before I run the setup program.

    Do I have to setup my "setup program" beforehand? Is there a way to compile VB program that doesn't uses dlls and other support files.

    Thanks in advance.

    Try writing it in C or QBasic. It might be a little messy in QBasic, but definitely easier to write than C.

    You could always change the setup program (SETUP1.EXE) to display the radio boxes and then do different set ups - by reading the comments in the SETUP1.EXE project you will find that you can have different setup files for different options if you so wish. Eg, all setups install certain files to enable the rest of the setup program to work - then depending on what the user selects, the setup program should install different files.

    Copy the files that your program needs to the setup dir. Windows/Your app will look there first for the required files.

    Hope it helps
