Necessary Files for Deployment

[DiverDan]

I think this question has already been covered in a past thread, but I can't find it, so please pardon the repetition.

I'm going back to my "regular" setup program and abandoning VB.Net's. After building the release .exe, beside any additional files supporting your program, what files should be included. Are .dlls necessary or are they already wrapped in the .exe? Are the resourse files necessary or are they also included in the .exe?

Thanks

Resource files are included in the exe, DLL files are not.
However, you only need to package DLLs which are not part of the framework.

Good Question

I was wondering the same thing. I am not using the VB.net for deployment. I will use my own setup program.

Thanks

Thanks Squirm,

I packed some dlls in the setup along with the exe and it all worked fantastic!

Thanks again
