This may look like a recent post ('embedding OCXs'), but it's not. I'm wondering if a Visual Basic program will work if all its dependencies (OCXs, DLLs, and the big runtime file) are in App.Path. I'm asking because I'd like to write a program that will execute straight from CD-ROM without going thru the hassle of installing it. I also know that Setup.exe created by the P+D Wizard is a visual basic program, yet somehow works without having the runtime installed.

Thanks,
-Mark

The only way to do that(that I know of) is to use Fusion, which can add all osx and dll to the exe file and create stand alone exe file

The definite solution here would be to try it out and see, though my guess is that it would work the way you say.
