Visual C++ Application Deployment

Hi,

Is it possible to create an application with the "Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition" that can be deployed on another PC running the Windows operating system without the .NET Framework 2.0 already installed on that PC

Thank you,

Robert

    Yes, that is possbile as long as your application is completely native (no managed code at all).  That is to say, you are not compiling with the /CLR compiler switch.

    The .NET Framework is only needed for managed applications.

    Please note for native application that link dynamically to the CRT (using the /MD compiler option), you will need to install the SxS CRT binaries as described in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235624.aspx 

    Hope this helps!

    Also, please avoid posting almost the same question in different forums. I am going to go ahead and delete your other posts.
