Is there a way I could make my dependency files less bulky. It just seems unfair to get a 4 Meg instalation setup for a simple 8k or 12k executable file.<br />

I have written small applications that I want to distribute without the big size that accompanies a setup program. How can I know exactly which dll my executable file needs to run in any machine. I would then zip them and send them in a different file with instruction to copy these files to the windows directory before running the executable. Is there another way I could do this, and avoid the error message: &quot;......dll cannot be located&quot; when people try to run my executable.?

How can I avoid using the Package wizard for small applications...

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
