You don't need the forms (they become part of the exe) but you do need the ocx and dll files. VB doesn't create standalone exe files. You'll need a different language (or a different variant of a GUI BASIC) for that.



(Just running the exe file on a computer that doesn't have the other necessary files will only result in an untrappable runtime error.)How to create a VB application to run on other computer without taking all the forms along.?
There's supposed to be a ';makefile'; way to do it and I couldn't find that, however, I was able to find this out:

Visual Studio creates an EXE file everytime you test it.

Add these:

';Imports System

Imports System.IO';

to the beginning of your file,

then run this code:

';Dim path As String = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

MsgBox(path)';

And that will show you where to go to grab that Exe file.
Sure, just create a VB Console applications. No forms required. It is one of the Project types in visual studio.
