    A Visual C++ application, if run on a system having VC++ not installed, asks for a number of ".dll" files. Kindly tell me how to make an installer package so as to be able to run it on a machine not having VC++. In Visual Basic, we have a utility called Package and Deplyment Wizard for this purpose. I am not able to find any such thing in VC++:confused:. Gaurav Gumber

      use Depends (look in Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\DEPENDS.EXE)to list the dlls you'll need to distribute, or If you are in Multi-Threaded DLL code generation mode you'll need msvcrt.dll If you have are using STL and you are in Multi-Threaded DLL code generation mode, then you'll need to redist msvcp60.dll . If you have linked to MFC then you'll need the mfc dll(s) which will depend on what parts of MFC you use. At least mfc42.dll You can save yourself a lot of heartache and simply link statically (Multithreaded instead of Multi-Threaded DLL) to the crt and link statically to MFC. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

        You can download the Visual Studio Installer. It's pretty cool: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/vsi11/default.asp[^] Here's a link to the docs for it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsinstal/html/veovrusingvisualstudioinstaller.asp[^] Chris Richardson You can stash and you can seize In dreams begin, responsibilities
