You should either install the VC2008 redistributable package[^] on the target machine or statically link your exe to the MFC and C runtime libraries (you have to modify these in your project settings).

you need to make a release build (without debug dlls). Static linking is the easisest way to make it. :thumbsup: The professionell is to make a setup with installation of all components :~

The program will work well when you use the static c runtime libraray.

you can use memu "Project"->"settings(Alt+F7)", click "complie" in dialog, then choose then choose "Code Generation", see the "use run-time libraray", choose "MultiThreaded" or "MultiThreaded Debug", rebuild project to apply changes.
