Well, I don't like the idea of asking someone to install runtimes
before "my" program will work. It looks cheesy, I think, and
unprofessional. And it certainly wasn't an option for the company I
was doing this project for or for me, considering what they were
paying me. So I sprung for APMSP.
If you're going to charge for the CD, I'd say you shouldn't make
people work to hard to install the stuff, especially to do something
as simple as run a menu.

Download the fully functional trial version. Won't let you create
installers that don't proclaim "hey, this hasn't been paid for" but I
think you'll like it.
