Exe file is not enough. You need to install them (this may includes all the references you have used.).

I just created an exe in vb and wrote it into a cd along with all the files my program uses in run time..i included a file for autoplaying the cd..to my wonder it works in all my friends computers..i dont know why.i too thought that i might need a setup file,but my friend insisted to do so..

Hi,

If VB6 is already installed in other machines, then you dont need a set-up file.. Your exe (with DB and Reports) should work , just by copying.
Creating and Installing the set-up package is necessary where VB6 is not loaded..
Its a good practice to Install your Software /exe thru a Set-up package..

Regards

Use the Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Tools Package and Development Wizard to create a package file so that all the components and references that you used in your application will be included.
