    I have developed a setupkit using VB5 to install a application Created by me.

    As the setup program is developed in VB when i run the setupkit i in a machine which is not installed with VB it asks for Vb runtime files.
    Is there is any way in VB where we can write
    program to copy runtime file required by vb
    without depending on any dlls (like SDK in VC++)

    Can anyone help me in this because i am stuck with this.

    Thanx

    Visual Basic in general has DLLs. It ALWAYS will.. So unfortunately, you must add the DLLs to your zip file that your program requires. It's a pain in the butt. I NEVER make setup programs in VB. I always use Assembly or C++.

    If you do it right, make a universal Setup program that reads from a text file the files you want to copy. That way, you won't have to rewrite a setup program for each app. You just edit the text file.
