Visual Basic, legally redistribute?

legally redistribute?

Author	Message
Wall #1 / 5	legally redistribute? Hello, I am working on a small database program in VB6. After using the deployment utility I noticed that there was an addition to the cab file. An executable called mdac_typ.exe. In this file is the EULA for MS Jet files. I'm not much at reading legal jargon so I found it quite confusing. Can you tell me what I can legally redistribute? Has Microsoft put so many restrictions on applications developed in VB that it is a legal nightmare to conform? I would appreciate any input you might have. --

Signe #3 / 5	legally redistribute? There is a document on the VB CD (I forget what it's called) that specifies every single file you can and cannot distribute with your applications. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism."

That file is used to upgrade a potential client machine to the correct Data Access Components so it can run your program. It is included by default with all VB6 packaged applications that contain Data Access components, or references to the same. Since it is included by the package and deployment wizard, through no intervention on your part, it is safe to assume you are breaking no laws. ;-) HTH...

Jason Thompso #5 / 5	legally redistribute? The mdac_typ.exe is a file that distributes and installs the version of the Data Access Components needed for your application. You should not be breaking any laws by distributing this file, because you can download it for free from Microsoft's site. Jason Quote: > Hello, > I am working on a small database program in VB6.
