'attaching' an ActiveX to an exe without creating a setup file

[MikeGarvin]

Hi everyone,

Would anyone know how to make an exe run and have it install in the system folder a dll or Active X it requires. I want users to be able to click my app and run instantly. But it uses some controls (MSComm) and don't want them to have to install the app.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

One simple way to have your program and all of its components installed in the correct place is to use the builder, Install Shield.

You could specify details like:

If Windows ME, then copy "file1" to "c:\yadda\yadda..."

If Windows XP, then copy "file2" to "c:\system\..."

etc

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
