Looking for a simple solution

[BlackBearDude]

I've got a small application developed with VB6. I want it to run from a network drive. Theoretically, the only files the user needs locally are the applicable DLL's, etc. No need to have the .EXE local, or .RPT's (crystal). The app hits an ADO data source that lives in same folder structure.

The PDW is pretty lame for my needs and I prefer not to hack the hell out of .LST file (don't know if that'd work at all anyway).

I am trying to come up with a very quick n dirty way of simple delivering run-time files to an end-user.

Any ideas?

Can't you use the PDW and just deselect any files you are going to install on the server so they aren't included in the package?

Use the P&D wizard. Just un-check the reference to the program executable and delete the shortcut and Start menu folder it will want to create. That should leave you with just the various runtime files you program needs on the local PC. No editing of Setup.lst is required.
