    Post Files to distribute

    Hi again! I am about to distribute my Visual Basic application to someone, as a beta version, and I want to make sure exactly what files must be distributed. Am I correct in the following?

    1) The VB runtimes
    2) The OCXs/DLLs for any ActiveX control I use

    Is there only one file that is "the VB runtimes?" Is it the
    1)%Windows%\MSVBM60.DLL for VB6-compiled apps, and
    2)%Windows%\MSVBM50.DLL for VB5-compiled apps?

    Is this the only required file for the runtime?

    Maybe there are more files/things I should know about... can you tell me? Please answer all my questions if you can, by replying to this post or e-mailing me at [email protected] .

    Thanks a lot.

    Create a distrbution package using either the VB Package and Deployment Wizard, or some other third party distribution package, and it will determine what needs to be deployed.

    Prior to doing an actual customer installation, test what you have on a machine that does not have VB or your app installed. If the installation is successful, put you app through its paces to make sure that all necessary components are in place, and ready to rock.

    Thanks, Hack! Problem is, using this I can create a setup program. Actually, I can see which files it needs and will install - but I can't see which file is the VB runtimes file, which was my original question.

    ("VB Runtimes and OLE Automation" does not show a source.)

    So, another answer from whoever is willing, please...

    The vb runtime files have the version in the name of the file i.e
    vb 5 would be mvsvbvm50.dll and 6 would be mvsvbvm60.dll.
