Creating an independent exe file c++.net

[Rafaelzan]

Hello everybody

I made a c++ program which compiles successfully. and

now i want to make an exe which will work on another

computer which doesn't have the .net env installed.

I noticed that there is an exe file in the debug directry.

I happily copied it to a disk and tested it on another computer and got an error message that some files are missing.

How can i do it right?

Please help.

Did you use Managed Extenisons? If yes, then the client computers must have the Framework. If you used the compiler to create a normal Win32 exe then the program should run fine given that all the dependencies are there.

I made simple a dos program. how can i make sure that the build

is not using any special resources which need the .NET

framework?

Thanks

If you just selected the C++ Console application (.Net) template then by default it does use the .Net Framework.

If you went for a Win32 console project that doesn't.

 

If you need to check - bring up the project properties and under 'configuration properties' -> 'general' you shoul find an entry for 'Managed Extensions'.

 

If this is set to false then the framework is not required. However you may still need to deploy C runtime / MFC runtimes depending on other options.
