I want to complie and link all functions from ".dll" ".vxd" and ".sys" to my ".exe" files. So the end-users do not need any ".dll" or ".sys" or ".vxd" to install on his local machine. Let me know if it is possible. If true , how to do it? Thanks in advance! Back to top Bruce Salzman Guest Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2003 3:00 am    Post subject: Re: Help , urgently !

Let me know if it is possible. Sorry, not possible. DLL's are dynamic libraries (hence the name Dynamic Link Library) and are loaded by Windows. You would need to recompile the DLL's functions into a static library in order to statically link it with your program. As for the .sys and .vxd files, they are device drivers (that must be properly installed/registered with Windows) that are also loaded by Windows itself.

But must I install the .sys and .vxd in the direcotry of windowssystem32 ? I want to let these files in same direcotry as the .exe . Is it possible?

If the file is deleted somehow, and Windows expects it to be there, Bad Things Will Happen.
