Embedding OCX files

[samzsitez]

I have tried my exe application on other computers, only to see a box saying i need this ocx file (tabctl32.ocx) in order to run it.

I supply it, and it works very well.
Im just wondering how, if its possible, to embed this ocx file so i am just left with an exe stanalone. Thanks

PS> can i embed dlls too?

You cannot link them into your exe, you have to create a install package that includes them. To do this run the Package and Deployment Wizzard on your project.

I'm only a novice but maybe this will help... Use the package and deployment wizard add-in to create a setup routine for your application. If that wizard does not automatically detect that your application will require that file, you can add it in manually when the wizard prompts you to give the okay on all the files that it has already included with the package. Hope that helps!

thanks

....so um...

where do i find this package and deployment wizard ?

Click on the Add-ins Menu and go to the Add-in Manager. You should be able to check the Package and Deployment Wizard Add-in. If you don't see it there you might wanna search your VBasic or VStudio cdrom because it should have installed the add-in unless you did a custom install without add-ins.

I recently answered this question for someone else. Here is the thread. There are half a dozen replys here, I had three. It describes getting the P+D wizard and how to find it on the CDROM if is it not installed. LOok at all my replys for the several things to try in getting the P+D installed correctly
