Applications files for deployment

[bobbie100]

I need to identify the supporting windows files (.dll etc) that are required to deploy the application I am developing. The Delphi help file does not say anything about how to determine what files are needed. The files I am concerned about mainly relate to the Windows API.
I am using Delphi 7 running under Win XP and will be deploying to Win 98/NT/2k/XP platforms.

Can anyone provide advice on how to do this or point me to suitable internet sites that explain it?

Don't worry about Windows DLL's, your app will only run on Windows, and usually the DLL's will(should) be already installed

I agree with TonHu, unless you wrote some DLL's yourself, everything should be in windows. Thats one of the big advantges of Delphi in most cases you only need to distribute a single executable.

Many thanks for the advice.

I think the only problem is likely to be the installed version of comctl32.dll. I've already modified my use of TImageList components to partially address this issue.

Does anyone have a definitive list of Delphi 7 components/properties to be avoided so that the installed version of comctl32.dll is not a deployment issue.
