    I think you need to be more specific, "any machine" would include my refrigerator.

            I meant implementing or coding. The point i am trying to express if that i have tested the application within Microsoft visual studio 2003 and it works great. Now i would like to run the application outside the development environment. I hope this is clear enough.

                  Deployment of MFC applications is documented on msdn so you can find everything you need there. Perhaps some searching like this[^] would help.

                    Oh! hmm, well haven't you ever opened your project folder? Have you seen these folders? "Debug" "Release" ? All the binaries you build will get created there. If your .exe doesn't have any dependency, you can take that .exe straight from the "release" folder and distribute. but it's not the usual case. Even if you do something with MFC, it will become mfc dlls dependant. (assuming you are linking dynamically). So use an installer like "Innosetup" (google for it). it's free and cool. You can deploy apps on the fly. ;)

                        lol, indeed i have opened my project folder so many times. I have tried using the '.exe' file from the release folder but i encountered problems and thats why i posted this question. As you said it must have dependencies. Ok, i will look for Innosetup and try it. Thank you
