Hi all, I have written my first little VB program. Not easy..puuh. So here i probably ask a lamer Question: if I want to put it on a website for download, will the *.exe file enough? Or I have to use Setup Wizard to create a setup program? Please help.

Hi,
I guess there shouldn't be any problems, unless your program is using some Active X stuff (like Crystal Reports or something), then you most probably need to build a setup program.

IMHO you MUST create a setup program and stuff it into a CAB file for downloading. You can't really assume that your users have the VB runtime files that consist of several MB or DLLs and OCXs.
