As it says, you need to ship all required dlls on target machine. For detecting required dlls, you can use MS visual studio tool depends.

This means your exe is dependent on these modules. You exe will need these dlls to run. So you will have to ship the corresponding dlls with your exe. You can use dependency walker to find out what all dlls your exe is dependent on.

Hi, I have created an application using mfc and I got the exe in debug folder. I took the exe file and placed in another system in which there is no visual studio software.when I tried to run the exe file I got the error saying that there is no MFC42D.DLL , c:\WINNT\system32;.......... How can I rectify this problem and run the exe file. Can u Plz help me. Thanks in advance.
the other guys already answered. but i see one important thing though. don't distribute a program compiled in debug mode ! compile in release mode to deliver it... then, for each DLL missing, find them on your computer and provide them with your exe.

Goto Start->Run Type "depends" without quotes. This will open dependency walker. Now open your exe and see the listing of dlls on which your exe is dependent. Or Right click on your exe and select "View dependencies". You will see this if you have dependency walker installed.

First, you have to tell us which IDE you used to compile (VC6, VC2005, ...). Things are different dependending on the IDE you used. To find which dll needs to be distributed with your app, open the dependency walker (the program is normally supplied with the IDE but you can find it easily on the web also). It will show you all the dll that your app requires. Also, do not distribute debug version of your program (and dll). This is not legal (particularly for distributing the debug version of the microsoft dll's).

you need to create set up. One of method is using InstallShield. If you are using VC 7.0 +.Then you can use wizardv to create set up.

Not necessarily true: MFC DLL contains all the MFC code, while linking the static LIB will cause only the required OBJ module to be included in the EXE. In general the sum of the "small" exe and the DLL exceed the one of the "long" exe. Then, it depends on how many MFC classes are directly or indirectly used and how many MFC depending exe-s are supposed to be on the target system.

Compile in release mode. You cannot redistribute the debug version of the DLLs.
