Customizing static runtime modules

[gena]

Hi!
Is there any way and guidelines to customize static runtime module, particularly VB6 ?
The thing is that this module fails to recognize and add to project some runtime DLL's, although they are listed in the .vbp.
I mean msde.dll and msderun.dll.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gennady

Hi,
You might want to read this Knowledge Base article: http://www.indigorose.com/kb/IRKB-SF5-000008.pdf. Near the end there is a section about what to do if certain dependencies are missed, and why this might occur.

Hi, Mark!
Thanks for your reply. I've found this article (although the trailing dot in URL confused my explorer ). Saying truth, it wasn't too helpful for me - I know where to look for dependencies and how to create .DEP files.
Problem is that it is the end user, that discovers the erroneous setup. If SF asks for .vbp file I expected that at least first level dependencies had been taken into account. So my question was rather "why?". Why SF didn't include some DLL's, that were presented in the same Reference section of .vbp, as others. The only difference that I see is the path - these DLL's are in Designers subdir of Common Files.
Is there any decision, or the only way is to manually compare .vbp and .dep with the list of included files for every VB setup?
Thanks in advance.

Gennady
