    Unhappy Letting other people use my VB made exes

    When I compile a vb program and try to run it on someone elses computer that doesn't have VB it won't work.
    How do I make it so that the .dll files it is missing be there and work on the other persons computer?

    Try using the setup and deployment wizard....should be straight forward...although I'm having problems with it at present!

    Or you can just give them the VB runtime files. You can get those from Microsoft's web site.
    You just proved that sig advertisements work.

    so people also uses Installer VISE (http://www.mindvision.com) and Inno Setup (http://www.innosetup)....there's even more out there, but that what most people use....but if you really want to cough up lots of douh, get Install Shield (http://www.installshield.com) like Kzin said.
