: If we r making any program in VB it should be packaged into setup using package and deployment. In Delphi, if i am making a notepad application and i want to share that program exe to my friends, What i have to do?
: Only copy the exe of my application or do same as package and deployment wizard does. Is delphi program shares the resourses of windows dlls such as kernal32.dll,user32.dll etc...

1. You only have to distribute the exe-file, an install (setup) program is not necessary.

But of course, you are allowed to pack your program into an installation program, for example to do things like: copy the exe-file and data-files to a specified or user-chosen directory, set up an uninstall system, install demo files, and so on.

2. Delphi programs can use all the Windows resources/dll's, you don't have to distribute anything extra.
