  Will it be okay if you have this arrangement: Create a zip file with the following files: yourapp.exe MSVCR80.dll MSVCP80.dll MSVCM80.dll (if necessary) Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest When the user downloads your zip, he can extract all files to one folder and everything will be setup.

  
  
  What if somebody just wants to create a simple Hello World .exe program
  
  I have been working on this all day and still can't get VC++ Express Edition to
  create a simple console program that I can deploy to another Windows box.
  
  Thank you.

  Will it be okay if you have this arrangement:

  • Create a zip file with the following files:
  • yourapp.exe
  • MSVCR80.dll
  • MSVCP80.dll
  • MSVCM80.dll (if necessary)
  • Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest

  When the user downloads your zip, he can extract all files to one folder and everything will be setup.

  BTW, in one of the links to the links that that post links to (), it makes reference to a file called vcredist_x86.exe. Unlike what that post says, vcredist_x86.exe is now available under http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en.

  For all VS editions except express, the Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest is located in the redist folder. Since Visual C++ Express edition doesn't contain the redist folder, you'll have to create it manually:

  Yes that would be okay.

  Thanks for your time and help
