This program will find all the DLLs and OCXs that a program needs to be opened. for example, the main dlls that are needed for VB 6 apps to be run is MSVBVM60.dll..etc.. There was a previous post in PSC by someome i cant remember his name, but he had many bugs in his prog, and it didn't get all the dlls and ocxs that are needed in some large programs.. this one does it all.. see the screen shot for more info :) please vote if you find it useful. and remember, this is useful when u want to make a setup package and do not know what files to include :) ICQ 7293201 email strange_life@hotmail.com :)

This program is not as accurate as the 
author wants to think it is. I ran a 
test on one of my applications that I 
had a problem creating a setup file 
for... The package and deployment 
wizard did bot detect certain DLL's I 
needed...Neither did this 
application!..All in all, I doubt it is 
any more accurate than Package and 
deployment wizard included with VB

Can't anyone enhance this code. It 
would be useful to make a better 
program then the Pack & Deploy Wiz 
(Regarding the DLL OCX filez).

Ironically I couldn't run the program 
because of missing DLL's

Hmmmm. This program is intersting! It's 
fun to abuse napster with it but it's 
hard to use properly. There are too 
many set captions for the text boxes.

Well, it worked with two applications 
that needed a lot of dlls. But then 
again, it might not work properly with 
other ones.

useful tool

Hi just a couple of things this program 
is an example of how NOT to code 
DXB700(ever heard of intsr()) it fell 
over several times with me and the 
point about it not finding all dll`s is 
true as it only finds the dll`s and ocx 
embedded in the exe it will not find 
the ones that are called from these.
