Visual C++ 2008 needs framework to run?

[Dr Emmett Brown]

Hi all, I've just finished my c++ application on vc++ 2008 but I've found out that it needs the framework 3.5 to run. :omg: Is there something to configure to make it independent from framework? Thanks.

so you didn't code C++ but C++/CLI... if you're using pure Win32 or pure MFC, you shouldn't have any dependency to the .NET Framework. but if you mixed both... don't wonder ;)

In the project settings should be an option to specify the framework version.

Thank you for answering so fast! But my project is pure prehistorical win32 api. It has no references to anything and I didn't find the framework version on the project settings either. Maybe it's time to go back to good old vs2005 :-D

I have not used 2008. I have not read anything about it that would lead me to believe they dropped suppport for creating native C++ applications. It is far more likely that you just have not figured out how to do it.

Visual Studio 2008 needs the 3.5 framework to run. However, your (native) c++ applications compiled with VS 2008 don't need this framework.

Well, I finally solved it installing VS2005 :) , but I kept VS2008 too. If someone finds out the trick to make it work please write an article or something. Cheers
