Running Programs On Other Computers...

[DrkPaladin]

When I try to run a MFC Application program that I made with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have C++ installed on it, I get an error that says:
"A required .DLL file, MFC42D.DLL, was not found"...
How would I fix this error so I may be able to run my programs on other computers???
Thanks.

It could be because you have created (build) a debug version of your application (The 'D' normally means that the DLL is a Debug verion, but I am not sure on this case).
If so, try to build a release version - and run it on another computer.

If it doesn't help, try to copy mfc42d.dll to that other computer.

How would I build a release version???
Thanks.

Oh, sorry :

From the menu in the IDE choose
Build -> Set Active Configuration .... and choose the Release version of your project.

Now build the project again, and you will have an .exe-file (probably located in a folder named 'Release') that will probably not need mfc42d.dll but mfc42m.dll (which I would expect to be installed on that other computer).
