Re: COMPILE A "STANDALONE" .EXE FILE

I haven't used VS6 in quite a while now... but you should be able to create an install project... and include your files in that. Then it will be only one .exe file.
I believe that VS6 could do that but am not entirely sure since i have been using VS.NET for a long time now.

Re: COMPILE A "STANDALONE" .EXE FILE

Well whats known as a solution in .NET is a project in VB6.

Just INCLUDE the 1st project in the second.. or compile the first exe and ADD THE reosurce. A Dependacy will work fine.

Re: COMPILE A "STANDALONE" .EXE FILE

Hi, Luxe
you first have to look in the File menu (in VB) and select Make[name of project]. This creates the .exe file. Then open the Package & Deployment wizard. Study it carefully, it's not hard to make a mistake if you haven't used it before. The DLL's it mentions are needed for the program, and should be included. You will have to locate and add any pictures, txt files, dat files etc. that you have created yourself for your project, then it wraps them in a Zip package and adds a Setup program for installation.
