When you compile a program, there is usually an option to either 1) dynamically link or 2) statically link all the libaries you use. By default most compilers will dynamically link (that's usually a better choice for a variety of reasons) but if you just want it to work without a need for the DLL, then use static linking.

beware staticly linking makes your programs absolutely huge, it's usually just easier to get the VB run time DLL's and distribute them with the exe.. But this is a good example why the vast majority of programmers hate VB..
