vb6 dep hell

When people talk about dll hell, they are generally referencing applications built with visual studio 6. There are an inordinatly large number of dependancies for even the simplest and smallest of applications. There is something very wrong when a 50k windows executable requires 6mb of support libraries. Beyond that, is the task of dealing with the vb generated installer. Which is dumb as the proverbial door nail.

Lets just use .net and MSI based installs from now on. So that if I want to bundle your application with mine, I can avoid the extra step.
