    I am starting to learn c++, and have managed to get hold of a copy of Visual stutio 6. I looked into .net and found that if somebody does not have the .net environment, the apps will not work. Is an MFC app compiled with all the necessary classes to run under its own steam, or does it rely on other files? In other words, if I create an MFC app, will it run on a standard install of win 98,2000, xp. I know mfc adds a little overhead to the finnished app, but at this stage my apps will be tiny anyway. Regards Paul

The two main files that are required are mfc42.dll and msvcrt.dll, both of which are probably on the target machine.

And .net runtime will comes with the OS, now-a-days or in near future......I guess so. http://www.priyank.in/

My apps are tested on Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003, provided I distribute mfc*.dll and msvcrt.dll with the app, as Mr. David says. Or you link MFC as static library in the project options. http://www.priyank.in/

                No, I borrow from my company, and about my friends, they borrow from others who ultimately get from the same source "The great Nehru Place". And by the way, if you have the original 800US$ edition of VS.NET, please lend me the CDs:).;) http://www.priyank.in/
