Most of my app works by just copying the files to a CD, but I can't print or
display a report (I get Error # 713, which I also can't find!).

Thanks in advance,

I'm afraid it isn't as simple as this what you suggest ;-)

First make sure you use VB5 (as VB6 needs newer versions of some
system-dll's), take the VB5 runtime dll with you (I saw indeed that on some
NT-systems this will not work, maybe because of another version in systemdir
?)

If you are lucky you have dll's which doesn't need to be registered, if your
using COM-dll's you have to REGSRV32 the dll's.
If you register the dll's , you are actually creating a little install app,
so when closing the app, you have to unregister the dll's, think about the
fact your app or Windows can crash while running (although it is very
unlikely ;-))

If you are using MDB's, make sure you open it exclusively and read-only,
oherwise the Jet will try to create a LDB on the same place where the MDB
resides, if on CD => cannot write on CD

What reportwriter are you currently using ?

Hope this helps, please correct me when wrong (I'm currently developing in
Clarion, where things are somewhat different).

If your program is very simple - and it does not use any special
controls - then you might be lucky and the relevant support libraries
might be installed.

You should really run the Microsoft Setup to ensure that all the
necessary support files (OCXes, DLLs etc) are present and registered
on the target machine.

One trick is to use a 'fully bound' program in Delphi or C as a
bootstrap. That runs SETUP or your program if SETUP has already been
completed.
