The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q193020

SUMMARY

A new section named [Do Not Redistribute] has been added to the VB6Dep.ini file that is used by the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to build a Visual Basic 6.0 application distribution set.

MORE INFORMATION

The following kinds of files are listed under the new section:
  • Files that are not needed at run-time and have no dependencies of their own.

    -and-
  • Files that cannot be redistributed by the PDW due to Microsoft redistribution policy. For example, the Microsoft Internet Controls (Shdocvw.dll) cannot be distributed using the PDW.
When the PDW creates a distribution set for a Visual Basic 6.0 application, it checks VB6Dep.ini for any dependency of the files that are included in the set. It will specifically exclude the files listed under the [Do Not Redistribute] section when building the set.
