DLL and ocx wich the EXE needs 1

[harmmeijer]

If I make an exe file with vb 6 it needs DLL files depending on the references and commands used.
If I send the exe file to a friend he cannot use it because he does not have access 2000 installed (I made a simple address/birthday book and mp3 seeker).
I wonder if its possible to make some sort of installation in stead of an exe file with all the necesarry DLL (or any other files) needed to run the program.
Now I am trying to find all the dll files wich are in the references of the project but in another thread I see that DLL files can be dependent on other DLL files to work so giving all the DLL and other files in the references does not allways work.

If your running VB proffessional then you will need to use the packages and deployement wizard..

It's in START --> programs --> microsft visual basic 6.0 --> microsft visual basic 6.0 tools and there it is just follow the wizard

Seems to work perfectly, the result is huge though because all the DLL files are included.
I will send the setup to a friend so he can test it.
