The reason, as PennPmgr (did I get that right?) pointed out, is that any program created by VB needs certain files in addition to the .exe on the system in order to run. Depending on your application, there may be fewer or more supporting files required, but there are some that are ALWAYS required, and they need to be the correct versions. If you just want to give your app to another VB2k5 developer, you’re all set. If you want to distribute it to non-developers, it’s more problematic and probably not a good idea.

If you want to see what files we’re talking about, run the wizard and see which ones it pulls in for your app.
