Two simple questions on package distribution...

[oVeRRiDe]

Hi friends!
Can anybody explain me how to:
1. Understand which DLL and OCX i shold include in my
package for distribution
2. How to make a good install program (and which installer
i should use... maybe a free one, i am only a student and
programming only for enjoying myself...)
Thanks a lot!

For a free installer try Inno Setup. It's much better than the standard VB Installer.

As for which DLL's Controls to include, that's the downside of Inno Setup. The VB Setup Wizard does all of this for you whereas you have to manually do this in Inno Setup. Basically though, you should include whatever OCX's and DLL's you used in your project. You must also inlcude the VB Runtime files. If you have VB5, the file is called MSVBVM50.DLL and if you have VB6, the file is called MSVBVM60.DLL. Both are located in [b]C:\Windows\System[b].
