Hello,
I am trying to cut my exe file size down to the minimum size possible. I know that shared dll is the way to do it. Then i must include the dependencies to the setup archive. I take a look at the "Depends" program that comes with VC+ 6.0 and it shows all the DLLs that my app needs to run. However, I AM LOST on which dll's i need to include in my setup archive. Which ones come already with Windows, which versions of windows do these dlls come with?? Kernel32.dll i know for sure comes with windows by default. But there are some i dont know about, i dont want to just include every dll that is in the depends viewer into my setup archive and end up with a huge setup archive. I have been trying to find documentation on this or an article for a long time but NO LUCK. PLZ HELP .!!!
 
Hey,

Post here all the dlls that you see and i'll tell you which came from windows and which not.

Good luck...
