Running VB6 exe without Runtime files

Is there any way of running VB6 exe file without runtime files.

Looking forward to you.

The run-times are required for the application to run -- hence "run"-times. There are applications that include them within your executable, though.

Fusion, for example:

You might be better off with an Installer.

Actually my vb exe only gets input at command line the name of excel file and coverts that excel file into pdf using Acrobat Distiller.

This exe is to be used with JAVA. So, the only files required are
EXCEL9.OLB
Acrodist.exe and may be
MSVBVM60.DLL


If I place these file within the exe directory, will the exe run.

What about
MSVBVM60.DLL

If I place it with exe will it run without
VB runtime.
msvbmv60.dll is the core of the VB runtime!
So, putting it in the exe folder will work.
Or I have to run regsvr32
it has to be registered.

Why don't you want to create an installer or run vbrun60ps6.exe ?
Actually I am developing JAVA application in my organization. But there is a problem in one area. That is the excel reports which are generated by the JAVA program are to be converted to PDF. So, I am using PDFDisteller libray in VB to convert excel files. Java's printing services didn't allowed me so flexible mechanism.
