There's a redistributable program that comes with VC2005, which installs all the WinSXS stuff for MFC in the right folders. It's called vcredist2005 or something along those lines.

The easiest way is to run the vcredist_x86.exe redistribution module. You should have it in your Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86 folder. If not you can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en[^]
You may be right
I may be crazy

Thanks for replies guys, but I am interested specifically in the *.dll files which are required for given program to run on another machine.

Perhaps you should read the docs pertaining to the redistritubals for your compiler/SDK. Sometimes distributing a single dll is not permitted, the whole installer must be distributed instead. This is the case with DirectX, you cannot distribute a single 3mb dll, you must send the 40mb installer or provide a weblink ( the installer will download and install ).

One upon a time, in a galaxy far away, before an evil empire consumed all the protoculture on earth, you could statically link MFC to your Visual C++ application so you wouldn't have to worry about which dll's (except GDI+ on pre-XP boxes of course) you needed to send out the door with your app. It used to be in the Project settings/properties in VC++ 6.0 and 2003. Please tell me the children of the shadow did not remove that option from VC++ 2005. I'm still struggling with them cancelling Paul DiLascia's "C++ At Work" articles and I don't think I can take much more of this assimilation. Does the option to statically link still exist on 2005?
