There is only one way which is the same al always was, i.e. put your prg in a project and build it as an EXE, either visually from the project window or from the command box as BUILD EXE MyExeName FROM MyProj

I don't understand why it would look for VB help files. Have you properly installed the exe in the other machine? Have you used the setup wizard or another installer to get all runtimes and help stuff properly installed as needed? Does your PRG set help on and pointing to the proper help file (*.CHM or *.HLP depending on what help technology you are using) and is that help file available in the other machine?
