 Stand alone Exe's?

I know this is a stupid question but I have to know for sure:

Is there any way to create a stand alone exe in VB5 for a very simple
program like an install panel?

Well, depends. If you're using ANY custom controls (if it requires ANY
ocx's) then NO. If you aren't, then you're ok. Incidentally, VB's
install-program-maker will do it for you.
Oh, and one more thing: 42.

No question is stupid. It's just a question that isn't known to
everyone.

Most of the VBs I've tried (I haven't TOUCHED VB 5 yet) have a option in
the File menu to Make EXE.....Hope that VB 5 carries this same option in
the same place. Other than that, check the help file.

Sincerely,
Vincent

I think what she's asking is can VB5 create an .EXE that does not need
the accompanying VBRUNxxx.DLL.  And the answer is yes, although
you don't really gain much by doing so, because then you have to
distribute the MFC dll's with it.  As well as any .OCX's if you've used
any in your application.

No.  It will always need runtime DLL which is a meg and a half. :-)
