Include DLL in EXE

Simply include the DLL as a binary in the Resource section of your exe

Or just append the contents of the DLL to your EXE, then get your EXE to extract it at runtime.

If you do this make sure you do it in a way so it is Vista compatible.

DECLARE..LIB works, too; the way it was designed. It "includes" the procedures from the DLL into the EXE.

If the current challenge is one of distribution of multiple files, look at using an installer program such as Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org).

I use MoleBox, although that may not be the solution you want.

Is there a way to include a DLL in my PB program.

I encounter problems when other systems do not have the DLL on the local drive and it would be nice to just give the exe only
