 Running VB App from a CD

Hi,

I am writing a VB application designed to run from a CD. Can this be
done without having to install all the DLLs and OCXs to the
Windows\System directory but instead accessing them directly from the
CD. My guess is having to create temporary registry entries to point to
the files or something like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Peter.

I didn't try but, it should work for "simple" DLLs or OCXs. But many of them
require a recent version of core files like OLEAUT32.DLL etc. You have to
name, reboot and rename them to install them and make them work. I'm not
sure there is a solution. Even a simple VB6 form won't run on a fresh Win98
without OLEAUT 2.40. Solutions ? Use an other development system ? Sylvain
