>>I'm looking to create a fairly simple (3-5 screens) application. The main requirement is that it must run on just about any Windows machine without requiring an installation process. It'll be run from CD-ROM, and I don't want to mess with any files on the user's hard drive. Is this possible with VB? If not, is C my alternative? Thank you in advance for any advice...
