Hi there!
Normally it seems that every vb 6 compiled exe file requires atleast MSVBVM60.DLL in Windows system folder, but what if i need to make exe file which can run without requiring this dll file.
i'll be highly thankful in this regards.
thanx
:D
Vb6 exes require virtual machine and even more components to
be correctly registered on target machine.
If the target machine already has components and virtual
machine, you can simply move your exe there and it will work. If
the target does not have, you have to use a setup program to
not simply copying files there, but also to register them correctly.
If you can not, better you switch to C
Once there was a software called "Fusion" that was able to
join all required component inside your exe, so that it could work
without a setup. But, if I am not mistaking, the MSVBVM60 was still required.
In any case, the resulting exe was as big as all the needed file joined together

Fusion can be found here. It is not free, though!

is there any linker and compiler for vb6, through which we can link all required files and then compile in a single standalone exe manually? or any utility can solve this problem? or at least any alternate?
:cry:
As you know, I am a newbie to VB6 plus VB.net. You say C is the lanuage that doesn't require all these dlls and it would be a standalone. That's what I want. Is it Just "C" and where might I get it.
You can achieve this using Delphi, I think.
Something else to think about. There is another program called RealBasic. It is not a M$ product and is like a poor mans VB6. You can download it at www.realbasic.com
the program language is almost identical to VB. If you go with C or C++ you are looking at a huge learning curve. Oh,,,, Real basic compiles its .exe with all supporting DLL's and what not. no need for anything but the exe after its compiled.
Yes you can make standalone applications in Vb6. The outcome is a large compressed exe file. You will need to download Stand Alone Xpress. What it does is look at your program and determine what librarys your program needs to run and binds them to the exe. Look at the website above for more details on how it works.Quote:
