Hi
That all depends on how you have designed your program.
If your program is made up of ActiveX DLL's/EXE's or OCX's, then you only have to reinstall the changed component (unless you've broken compatibility). There is no 'exe-patching' available in VB (at least that I'm aware of, and I'm pretty sure that nobody from Microsoft would encourage it).
If you need to learn about Compatibility, take a look at the Books-online documentation that came with your copy of VB.
