Welcome to the Forums


You can use resource files to this I think. Pack the viewer EXE into the project and extract it when needed.

And if your program has a DLL/OCX, you might be able to use that even.
We do this with Crytals Reports. It has viewer ocx which we can distribute (with client licence of course) with the application.

Curious... Did you create an installation package for your app or ar you using Winrar to deploy your app.

Please read Installation Problems if you are doing the latter.
