I downloaded and tried the INNO and NSIS products. The INNO product works well. I also downloaded the ISTOOL and installed it but haven't tried it yet. My script is very simple. Also I downloaded the Advanced Installer demo but haven't tried it yet either. I will get to it but right now very busy trying to keep the business going. Just one question - is there any way to know which dll's and rd files are needed by the app? I have just included them all in the build but that seems to be a waste of space. Thanks for all your help and info Grant

From: Geoff Schaller on 11 Jul 2010 18:33 No. Like Steve says, put VO into an empty folder and run it. Progressively add the dlls needed to make it work. Some are required only at runtime so If you use the function/class, make sure you add the dll that matches the dependency you added to make the compiler work.

From: Kevin on 12 Jul 2010 07:46 Grant, In the CAVO28 folder there is a folder called Redist which has a collection of the files needed for redistribution. If you look at the Redist.txt file you can see what files are needed by what areas, for example RDDs. This will give you start. Put copies of the DLLs you need from here in an empty folder along with your EXE and DLLs and then run your app. Copy any missing DLLs to this folder one by one. The file mentioned above will, obviously, not list any files from third parties such as bBrowser or VO2ADO you may have. Refer to their documentation. Don't forget the files from any OCXs that you may be using - check their documentation. Hope this helps.
