VB Excel AddIn distributing
 

I have developed an add-in for excel with VB6.0.
I want to distribute this add-in. Which dll s I must be distribute.

VB package program puts this files:
ASYCFILT.DLL
COMCAT.DLL
EXCEL9.OLB
MSCOMCT2.DLL
MSO.DLL
MSSTDFMT.DLL
MSVBVM60.DLL
OLEAUT32.DLL
OLEPRO32.DLL

Must I distribute all of this files? Total size of this files 10 MB. And it
is too big.

Hi

At a glance -and I may well be glancing wrong- it looks to me like the only extra file you need to distribute is
MSCOMCT2.OCX
which isn't even on the list. Strange. Anyway, open VB6 and the project, go menu Project Components, check "selected items only"
and see what they are.

Since you client already will have Excel you dont need
any of the standard Office dll's

The only ones that appear required to me are
ASYCFILT.DLL
MSCOMCT2.DLL
MSSTDFMT.DLL
MSVBVM60.DLL
OLEAUT32.DLL
OLEPRO32.DLL

These are the VB6 run time files that need to
be on any machine running a VB6 program,
the chances are they are already installed.

NOTE you should ensure you have the latest
service packs for VB6 installed (SP5 I think)
as there problems with some earlier releases.

you'd be violating your license agreement if you'd distribute the office
dlls :) plus without office installed it wouldnt work anyway

check homepage of support.microsoft.com for vb runtime deployment..
