Compiling question

Hi, Is there a way to compile my VB6 project on a machine that does not contain the VB6 IDE? I've copied all of the files over and thus ported the VB6 environment, but I'm still having hang-ups. Has anyone crossed this bridge before? Thanks! :confused:
It would be nothing like easy. You would have to have VB compiler and the linker console apps and would have to set all the compiler switches yourself.

You also have to port over the environment variables that get set, registry entries, path statement, any controls that your compiling with must be registered, ... It's alot less time consuming to just install the thing... RageInTheMachine9532

If you have VB6 installed yourself anyway, wouldn't it be easier to just build it on your machine and use the resulting images - and in any case, simply copying files from one machine to another will NEVER work for anything more complicated than a standalone .exe - will need to register all sorts of components, ensure that the runtime files are present - big headache!
