I wanted to inform all VB programmers about run-time files in order not to "explode" distributable file with 1.3 MB instead of ±650Kb.

Rate Run-Time Files

The small article: 


Run-time files are files your application must have in order 
to work correctly after installation. These files are needed by all Visual Basic 
applications. 


The following are the run-time files for Visual Basic 
projects: 


Msvbvm60.dll 


Stdole2.tlb 


Oleaut32.dll 


Olepro32.dll 


Comcat.dll 


Asyncfilt.dll 


Ctl3d32.dll 


The installation program assumes that any computer capable 
of performing an Internet download already has all of these files except for 
Msvbvm60.dll. Therefore this is the only run-time file!
 
Copied from MSDN Library. 


One more tip... 


If you also want to have professional installation package I 
recommend to use NSIS http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ and it's free. You will also 
need an editor and this you can get if you click on download page. I use HM NIS 
Edit http://hmne.sourceforge.net/ and it's also free. I hope this will help 
someone.
