Head-Scratcher: Plain Program Requires DLLs and OCXs?
Re-compile your project. But, before that, remove all unneeded References
and Custom Controls from your project. You can do this by opening up these
dialogs on the Tools menu at the bottom. Just uncheck all the boxes. If it
brings up a message box saying it is needed, just move on to the next item.
Then, click ok and make the new EXE.
Hope this works.
