I need a program that will check for vbruntimes and install them if needed before running a VB app. Can anybody help? I'm a VB/Java guy trying to learn c++ :). -Dustin

If the runtimes that you are looking for are part of the VB program that you are distributing, why don't you just include them in the package of the VB program using the Package and Deployment wizard? That's really what it's used for. It includes in the setup kit (cab file with setup.exe file) all the files you need to run.... the DLLs and everything...

I don't really see though, what this has to do with VC++, except that the package and deployment wizard is ONLY for VB.. I'm just learning VC++ myself and am not sure how that works. Hopefully it compiles all the needed resources right into the exe... I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Hope that helped.
