TITLE   :PRB: SHDOCVW.DLL Not Included in PDW Setup Package
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for
   Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to create a setup
package for a Visual Basic project that contains the Microsoft Internet
Controls, the file Shdocvw.dll is not included in your setup package by the
PDW.

CAUSE
=====

Shdocvw.dll is a core component of Internet Explorer (IE). Under current
redistribution policy you are not allowed to redistribute IE in your
application. Therefore, Shdocvw.dll is not included in your setup package.

RESOLUTION
==========

To enable the functionality of the Microsoft Internet Controls, users of
your application are required to have Internet Explorer installed on their
machines.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
