You need to first check that your license allows you to
distribute programs. The 'learners edition' eg does not.

The InstallShield Lite that comes with D has done 
a pretty good job for me (no user complaints), but then
again, I'm not distributing the BDE.

Hi Carsten,

it is one of the biggest advantages of Delphi that you need nothing else to
distribute as your program (and its data files). If you want to distribute
an application which uses a database then this isn't entirely true. In this
case you'd also need the BDE. As mentioned, InstallShield does a good job
keeping you away from such trouble.

Ciao, Mike

Actually you don't need anything, only the executable file itself and
whatever external files it might use (if any).
Just make sure it is the same environment (like WIN 32 for example)
Thats why Delphi is better than VB.
well thats it

Once the program is compiled into an .EXE you don't need anything from
Delphi for it to run on any computer that runs Windows (Delphi 1 on Win
3.11 and above, and Delphi 2,3 on Windows95 or NT)

If your program uses Tables, Paradox, DBase etc, you will need to install
the Database Engine which is supplied on 2 disks which are found on the
Delphi CD in the REDIST directory.

If your program (Delphi 1 or 2) uses ReportSmith, you need to install the
ReportSmith Run Time (5 disks also found in the REDIST directory)
