Yep. VB 3.0
I can supply source, and an exe file in case you don't have VB3.
<http://obob.com/vb/autorun.zip>
(VBRUN300.zip is in the same directory if you need it)
Mind you, I'd be cautious about any exe downloaded from anyone, so I'd
recommend you use VB3 to compile your own, I just include an exe for
completeness.
I'm pretty sure it's also possible to do registry-less apps in 16-bit VB4,
and also I've been told -but never tested- that 32-bit VB4 can too IF you
put all the support files in the same directory with the app.
