installation program vb

I am using Measurement Studio with VB 6.0 SP5. I would like to create an install program of a project I have developed. I am only using the GPIB active x control, so is the cwinstr.ocx file the only NI file I will need to include? Is there a document showing what files are needed to create an install program? Thanks

What are you using to build your installer? Are you using the VB6 Package and Deployment Wizard or are you using the Visual Studio Installer? If the former, the ActiveX controls ship with .dep files that specify its dependencies. You can find these .dep files in the same directory as the .ocx file. The Package and Deployment Wizard will read these .dep files and will automatically pull in the dependencies that the component needs. If the latter, I'm not sure if the Visual Studio Installer will read the .dep files, but if it doesn't, you can read it in a text editor and add the required dependencies to your installer project. Same thing if you're using something else like InstallShield, Wise, etc.
