What the problem will be is if something that your exe depends on has been
updated. If you originally compiled in in vb6 with service pack 1 but you've
since updated vb to service pack 6, then when you put the exe on the
customers computer they will only have the vb runtimes for service pack 1
and your exe will fail.
The way to test is to get a spare machine and give it a fresh install of
win95 or 98, install your original app and then copy the new exe over. If it
works then you're ok.
