SUMMARY
A new section named [Do Not Redistribute] has been added to the VB6Dep.ini file that is used by the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to build a Visual Basic 6.0 application distribution set.



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.
