None Vb Files Bundled with VB program

[jenter54]

I am new to Visual Basic.
When I make a application load program is there a way to bundle dependant files with it (midi, Access db ect)

Visual Basic comes with a Package and Deployment Wizard (a VB installation program) that you get at through the Start menu, the same way you can start VB itself. You can also buy something like InstallShield. Neither one picks up all dependencies all the time though, so you have to do test installations and then go back in and manually include missing files into the installation package. It's a tedious process, and very frustrating when dealing with installations on different versions of Windows. Do you already use the VB one?
