How to make VB6 Deployment Package

I have a .exe program that I want to distribute. In
VB5 i know how to make the D&P package because it has a seperate program. VB6 only seems to have the .exe maker and when I place my exe on a different computer it tells me that I missing a .ocs file. How to i make the D&P package so that it contains all the programs to run independently on a different computer. Speed is very important. If you can answer this for me today, (Sunday) I will give you 500 points, Thank You.

I am looking into the Windows Menu now. I actually have two .exe programs that are part of the same package. One is VB5 and the other is VB6. Do you know if the free package creator you mention will include the extra files each .exe requires in its package?

I looked into the Windows menu and it only shows each of my forms with (code) after it. I do not see anthing like D&P. Where else could it be?

emoreau, you probably meant in the Windows Programs listing, but I was looking in the VB6 program header Windows drop-down. I've always used VB5 so I was unfamiliar.
