Question : Attempting to create a vb6 installation package for deployment

I'm attempting to create a setup.exe for distribution.  When I look at the Reference section of VB6 it shows the following files as reference:

vb6.olb
msvbvmb60.dll\3
msado27.tlb
crviewer.oca
wshom.ocx
acrobat.tlb
acropdf.dll
msword.olb
cdo.dll

My concern is whether to include the files listed above in my distribution diskette.  I believe that acrobat.tlb, acropdf.dll, msword.olb should not reside on the disc because there might conflict with my version and the clients.  Can someone clarify whether if my assumption is correct?  I.e., the above files should not reside on the disc.  Or if some of the files must be distributed, can you tell me which one must be distributed?

Thank you.

I think acrobat and word's dll cannot be distributed with your application because they have to be registered with Windows before using as references. And if so, they may have to overwrite current files in your client's computer and may cause unexpected errors.

I think the better way is add Adobe Acrobat and MS Word to your prerequisite list.

Hope this help.
