Necessary Adobe files to include in a vb excel installation package that creates PDF files

Hi folks,
   This is my first time posting a question as I am new to Experts Exchange so please advise if I omit info you might need.  I have two related questions.

1) I'm using a vb6 frontend to call an MS Excel app that uses MS Excel 2003, VBA, Acrobat Writer Pro 9.0 and Adobe Distiller in my application which among other things creates pdf files.  And I have Adobe Reader 9.0 installed.  On my computer where all are installed, creating pdf files using Acrobat Writer and the Distiller works just GREAT. And the Adobe PDF Converter is displayed in my Printer Setup Dialog. But I created  an installation package using Installshield and after running the setup on a different computer my program works fine until I try to create a pdf file. I looked under Excel VBE Tools, References and saw MISSING: Acrobat Distiller. And even though Adobe Reader 8.0 is installed on this computer, the Adobe PDF Conveter does not show up in the Printer Setup Dialog box.  So my question is which Adobe files do I need to add to my installation package so that my app can create the pdf's and the Adobe PDF converter is displayed in the Printer Dialog box? And where do I get these files? Is there a runtime distiller? Is there an article you can point me to that explains ths?  I searched under the Adobe website and elsewhere but couldn't find any specifics.

2)How do I insure that the Adobe PDF Converter is listed in the printer setup dialog so that my user can select it.  Is the Adobe PDF Converter llisted in this dialog the Adobe Reader?  One of my apps requirements is to use Adobe for creating and reading pdf files and I display the dialog setup so that the user can choose it for printing pdf files.  This is my first time using Adobe products.

I've listed the code I use to determine if the Adobe Converter(or Adobe Reader?) is listed in the Printer Setup Dialog and then after the user selects it I save it in a text file to be displayed to the user and to be used by the program when printing pdf files.

Well, that's it...again, let me know if you need anymore info.

Many thanks.
