VB 3.0 Additions: 'Determining the Files You Need to Distribute'

- Microsoft Visual Basic programming system for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

After producing an executable program (.EXE file) in Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows, if you want to distribute, sell or test that .EXE file on another computer that does not have Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows installed, you need to know which files to distribute with your .EXE file. These files are listed on pages 579-582 in the Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows "Programmer's Guide." This article gives a list of files to be appended to that list.
