Scan Visual Basic Project

This tool can be used to scan a Visual Basic project file for dependencies and add them to your project.

Dependency files are external support files that an executable requires for proper operation. In other words, they are external files that a program file "depends on" in order to function properly. Dependency files may include INI files, DLLs, ActiveX controls, OCX components, or any other support file type. Although it's generally preferable to install dependency files in the same directory as the program that needs them, they are often installed in other locations, such as the Windows system directories.

Note: Scanning your VB project file will not add the project's executable. You will have to add that file manually. The VB Project scanner will only add dependency (DLL and OCX) files.

Note: The appropriate core runtime files for Visual Basic will also be added to the project in the form of a Dependency Module. All dependency modules that have been included automatically can be found by going to Resources > Dependencies...
