Hi all, I created a VB.NET application that requires two drivers in order to work (AxInterop.MSChart20Lib.dll and Interop.MSChart20Lib.dll). I want to have anyone be able to use this application on any PC and in any directory. Right now, I have to send all three files together (the .exe and two .dlls). Plus, the exe has to be in the same directory as the dlls or else it won't work. I am new to VB.NET and was wondering if it is possible to include both drivers in the .exe so only one file needs to be distributed or do I need some sort of installer program? Thanks all...
 
There probably aren't many choices for .Net (especially if you don't
want to buy something very expensive). But there is an install
packager as part of .Net. According to MSDN, from the file menu
you select Add Project - New Project. Then in the Add New Project
dialog, select Setup and Deployment Projects, and select the type
of deployment project.
