    If I distribute a VB-compiled software will the users have to download any DLLs or some things to run my program?

    Sometimes they do. Depends on whether they have already got the runtime files on their system.

    Moved.

    If you use the P&D Wizard that comes with VB, Inno, or any of several other 3rd-party tools you can create a set of installation files and distribute them to be installed by the user.

    Not if you include everything that is needed in an installation package. If you do not all sorts of bad things can happen (missing components) and your app will not run.
