newbie question: executable file

[magnus2]

I have put some activex components on a form and made an application. Now I want an executable file that will run on another computer. The activex components are installed on the other computer. If I do 'build solution' (I use VB.net) I get a .exe file but that don't run on the other computer. Instead it asks for some dll-file. Do I need to use the package wizard to get an executable with all dependencies? (It don't have to be an internet-package.) How do I do it? I have done my "developing" on a Windows 2000 machine, but I want the application to run on a Windows 98 machine. Is that a problem?

Grateful for comments! /Magnus

Yes you need to use some kind of packaging to create your setup program. It should include all the VB, ocx and dll files that your program will need to run properly. Be careful, however some files you may need to add manaually.
