Installer Woes

I created my installer and added the dlls noted in dependancy walker. But when I sent it to a friend it said it also needed MFC70d.dll and MSVCRTd.dll. It doesn't say this in dependancy walker and I sent him the release version. Isn't this the debug versions? Thanks.

At least one of the DLL's/EXE's that you sent him must be compiled in debug. Double check everything that's in the installer.

Soon as i read your post it hit me. I have a dll i made awhile back and never compiled it as a release and dependency walker couldn't find it. I just loaded the dll into dependency walker and it showed the debug dlls. This will make my setup file much smaller getting rid of them 2 files. What other common files should I not add. I have added user32.dll and other common files but instructed it not to overwrite or uninstall them. Is this ok to move them?

Thanks for your help too

Well, typically, all Windows systems will have some of the more common DLL's. There should be a "redist" folder somewhere on the Visual Studio CD's. This has all the DLLs that you might have to install. They ship them, in case you have a customer that doesn't have that particular version.

Im sorry but one last question. If you use the microsoft web browser ctrl can you include that or what is the best way to do make sure the internet explorer version they have is the correct one for your software? Or do you just direct them to the IE download page? And if you can include it do I just need to add the shdoc.dll file and register it or what other files do i need? Or do u just include IE in your setup? Any help would be appreciated.
