MORE INFORMATION ================ The following kinds of files are listed under the new section: - Files that are not needed at run-time and have no dependencies of their own. -and- - Files that cannot be redistributed by the PDW due to Microsoft redistribution policy. For example, the Microsoft Internet Controls (Shdocvw.dll) cannot be distributed using the PDW. When the PDW creates a distribution set for a Visual Basic 6.0 application, it checks VB6Dep.ini for any dependency of the files that are included in the set. It will specifically exclude the files listed under the [Do Not Redistribute] section when building the set.
