How to release VB app on CD?

Delete all of the VBX's in your project list. It won't let you delete
the ones you're actually using. As long as they're in the list, setup
thinks you need them. Also, make sure you don't have any Declares in
your code that you're not actually using (e.g. if you included the
winapi.bas with all of those declares, setup will think you need them.
