Programs don't zip themselves! You can build an installer using the setup
wizard that comes with VB. That will create a setup program with the
disadvantage that all files that are needed for your application are
compressed seperately leaving you with "zillions" of compressed files on a
bunch of disks. What you're probably looking for is something like the Wise
Installation System (see www.wisesolutions.com). That will help you build an
installer that includes everything your app needs in one single setup.exe.
