 Stand-Alone .EXE Is there any version of Visual Basic that will create stand-alone
executables?

Stand-Alone .EXE Be prudent, ship MSVBM50.DLL (or 60) with your App
and you will have a semi standalone 'thing'
Just do not use OCXs or you are dead in the water.

Naw, I've no real problem with VB at all. Or I'd code in C ;)

Stand-Alone .EXE When you say standalone what exactly do you mean?
Do you mean that you do not need to have to create an installation package?
Send further info and I will be glad to answer your questions.

Stand-Alone .EXE Check out VB Power-Wrap at http://www.moonlight-software.com
While you can't make a stand alone with VB, this creates the illusion of one
by installing needed components in the background if needed. I use it all
the time for small littles apps I write.
I have no affiliation with this company, just a satisfied customer.
Hope this helps
Doug

Stand-Alone means that no support files are necessary, like an executable
created with QuickBasic. I want to make a Installation/Setup CD with a menu
for selecting one of three programs. I use InstallShield for the setup disk
and
the programs are written in VB 6.0. There will be three directories on the
CD
and the menu program will execute the correct Setup.EXE in the proper
directory.
Thanks,
Ray Carson

Stand-Alone .EXE Have a look at :
www.iss.u-net.com/swhtml.htm
It is a stand-alone HTML browser that you can use to run programs
I use it to kick of Setup.exe on a CD
You will also find a standalone 'AutoRun' utility on the same site.

If you have a simple app without too much code, consider re-writing it
using these alternatives:
MoonRock (for DOS-based [and Windows DOS box] apps).
http://www.rowan.sensation.net.au/moonrock.html
This is now unsupported but works very well and creates very tiny
standalone .com (not .exe, but same thing really) applications.
Rapid-Q (for Windows-based apps).
http://www.basicguru.com/abc/rapidq/sshots.html
This looks and feels very similar to VB and also creates small (minimum
size is 300 K) standalone .exe applications.
Both of these are 100% free to use with no royalties payable.
Regards, Otser.
