How to Deploy VB6 Applications?
The company I’m working for has this application that was written in VB6 last year. I’ve had the pleasure of working through just a few minor things here and there in it. However, now I’ve had a bit of a stumble. In the latest Visual Studios, whenever you build your application, any referenced .dll dependencies can be found in the bin/Debug(or Release) folder.
My question is that in the VB6 Enterprise IDE, where does the dependencies get placed when you make the .exe? I’d assume that they are in the same location as the .exe; however, when I copy that entire folder over to another computer, and regsver32 (in administrator mode, of course), and I try to run the program, I get told I’m missing a dependency. Thanks for any and all help.
It’s been a while since I worked in VB but I seem to remember that you wouldn’t copy the executable but would create an installation package that would manage all the DLL’s, OCX’s and such and register the necessary things with the registry for you.
