I have created a program in visual basic 6.0 and I want my program to be executable so that I can have an installer and can install my program to another computer. How can I make my program executable? I'm a little clueless right now and I need help with this.

How to make an exe program?

Click File menu and the Make <project name>.exe

This creates the executable file.

However, you may not be able to execute in another computer. For this you make an installer so that all the required dll’s and other files are within a package to install in any machine.

If you have Microsoft Visual Studio’s all packages installed, then click Start-> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 –>  Microsoft Visual Studio Tools 6.0 -> Package and Development Wizard.

This software is able to create the installer. Select the .vbp  project file and click on package. Enter the required formalities and then the package is created in a folder. The setup file is in the folder. It can be installed.

Thanks.
