Dolphin ToGo apps are dependent on the following two C runtime libraries:
1) MSVCRT.DLL
2) MSVCP60.DLL
The former is the base C runtime, the latter is for C++ STL (Standard
Template Library). We had hoped to remove the latter dependency, but it
proved too difficult within the time available. Both of these libraries will
very likely be on users' machines, but it cannot be guaranteed. In
particular Win95 (and perhaps Win98) did not ship with MSVCRT.DLL, but NT
did. MSVCP60.DLL is not a standard OS component, though it might be in
2K/XP. It is used by a lot of apps though. Standard installation components
(either as Microsoft Installer Merge Modules, or .EXE I think) are available
from Microsoft for the C runtime, or you can just ship the libraries that
are installed by the Dolphin installer.
There are no other dependencies apart from standard OS libs - the target OS
should have at least IE4 installed in order to have sufficiently up to date
versions.

No, of course not :-).

I'd imagine so.
