Redistributing of exe devloped using VC++ 6.0
-
Hi, Do we require .Net framework and MFC runtime to run the exe developed in VC++ 6.0 in the system where Visual studio or VC++ 6.0 is not installed. The exe is built using static linking (set in project setting). Thanks in advance
If you statically link to the MFC and C runtime libraries, then there's no need to redistribute anything (except if you are using third party dll's). And certainly not the .NET framework...

Thanks for the quick reply. One clarification by setting Use MFC static libraty in the General tab of project setting means both MFC and C runtime libraries are statically linked, am i correct?

Nope. They are independent settings. :)

Select
_Project-name_->Propertiesmenu item, then (in the newly appeared window) select theConfiguration Properties->C/C++->Code Generationnode, finally select the Runtime Libraryitem of the list and set it choosing the proper value (for instanceMulti-threadedinstead ofMulti-threaded DLL). :) BTW you may also choose to link with theDLLand then use theMicrosoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package(see, for instance, here [^]) to install the required copmponents on the target machine. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

[My articles]The OP said he was using VC6 and the link to the redistributable that you gave was for VC2008. The VC2008 redist will not work with VC6. The VC6 redist was included in the VC6 SP5 and SP6. Alternately you can get the SP4 file here[^].
