          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.
