The alternative - which is preferable in most cases - is to build a 'monolithic' executable. From the BCB project options, make sure : "Linker/Use Dynamic RTL" and "Build with Runtime Packages" are both DISABLED. Rebuild your project. The EXE file will increase in size by around a megabyte or more, BUT the exe now contains all you need to run the application. Your installshield build will be smaller than if you add the missing libraries/packages - or alternatively, in many cases you can just give people the EXE without the need for an installer at all. - Roddy
