Which file version 1

[boggg1]

I can quite happily deploy Visual Basic applications within our (entirely Windows 2000) company but I would like to understand more. I have started to get to know InnoSetup as it seems more flexible and comes highly recommended. Now the InnoSetup site (amongst others) recommends you do not use the .dll, .ocx, .tlb (etc) files on your computer but rather you should go to the Microsoft site to get the deployable versions. Meanwhile the PDW (package and deployment wizard) collects the .dll, .ocx, .tlb files that are available to it (of course what else could it do ?) which means the files on the computer. Now I face stepping outside my safe Windows 2000 world and into the big bad world of "other Windows versions" so I sit and wonder what to do.

I guess I am talking about a few simple (always Microsoft) active-X files and the VB bootstrap (run time) files.

Any expert advice on which versions of these files I should use ? I would be very surprised if this has not been answered here before but I cannot the post.

Use the deployable versions like Inno recommends. The P&DW wizard is very old.
