Program to Encapsulate a VB Projects ocx, exe and dll's into Single .exe

I don't think you will be able to do this through a third-party program due to the exe using Windows to access all the dll's and etc.  The best option would be to incorporate all the dll class files, ocx files, and other files into the vb project.  So when you recompile the project it will build them into the exe file.  However this will make the exe much larger, and those dll and ocx files will not be accessable by any other programs (since they are actually embedded into the exe.

To do this just go to Project and Add File, then you will need to add all the dll classes, ocx, and other files into the project.  Depending on how it was first created you may have to adjust some of the code for calling and creating the objects.  And you will need to un-reference those dll and ocx files from Project -> Components.

Let me know if you need some more info!

Jason,

Thanks for your response.

>>go to Project and Add File
I just get the message ".... .ocx could not be loaded", I have tried these with a few different files and it does not work for any of them.

>>you may have to adjust some of the code
It is a massive project and to rewrite the code with my deadline looming is not an option.

>>those dll and ocx files will not be accessable by any other programs (since they are actually embedded into the exe
That would not be a problem as the ones I want to incorporate are specifically for this project.

It looks like my only option is going to be to connect my laptop up to the internet (which I really didn't want to do)  so that I can purchase and activate the Fusion software as this does exactly what I want.
