    Best Way?

    What is the best way to determine all the files you need to include in your setup program?

    Thanks!

    Look at your references in the project.

    To those add any controls you inclued in the project (click on the Add components on the toolbox) and last but not least the VB runtimes.

    There's an addin that comes with VB called "Package and Deployment Wizard." I've never used it, but I heard that it'll pack all of your dependencies into a .cab file and tell you what they are.

    Also, most setup-creation utitlies, such as InstallerVISE, will scan your project for dependencies.

    InstallerVISE will let you use the full version installer for free/shareware for a year for free.
