Hello! I am making an application in VBasic 6.0. I created an executable file and it worked on my computer The application will work on an older computer ( Win 95 ). When i tested it in this older machine i was asked for this file: MSVBVM60.dll Shouldn´t it work without this? Isn´t the application independent? I copied the file, but then, the application was considered illegal. Thank you

Exe created by vb still requires some dll which are used. To make it legal, copy to the machine c:\windows\system\ then do this to register the dll. Start->Run Type regsvr32 C:\windows\system\MSVBVM60.dll hongjun

no, it's required because Visual Basic is NOT A truly COMPILED language (like Delphi). It NEEDS a RUNTIME (like dBase IV at the time it was first "compiled" huh huh huh) the runtime DLL (the equivalent of the SYSTEM library of Pascals & Delphi) has to be provided with the "executable" program made from VB. for the "application illegal", no idea. I think you installed the wrong version of the file. Or perhaps a difference in platforms.

To make it easier for deployment, you can choose to use Package and Deployment wizard that is from the add-ins of vb. It will create a package/so called installer with all the necessary dependencies/dll/ocx. hongjun

or a non-registered DLL, well thought hongjun what a language ! You've to register the runtime DLL. What a pity. Long live Delphi.

VB apps needs its requirements. These can be downloaded from <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290887">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290887</a>. If you used any components or references, you will need to distribute also.

Ya they are their runtime libraries

You do not need this if you create an executable without ANY forms, just very basic standard code (non-reffed command line executable). That would be the only instance where you could get around this requirement.
