Hi
i made a quite big project with visual studio (C language)
but if i bring the executable file that vstudio create to another windows xp
platform it doesn't start and an error message tell me to reinstall it..
so how can i create a portable .exe?
The project uses winsock (ws2_32.dll) and only standard dll filled in by
visual studio
Pls help!
Thx

It's likely that your application uses the 'C' run-time library (a
DLL) and it's this that's needed to be installed on the other
computer. You should have the required redistributable as part of the
VS installation.

If you don't have any requirement to use the DLL version of the
run-time you could change your project's settings to use the static
link library and that will probably resolve your immediate issue
without having to ship/install the run-time redistributable.

A solution is to set in your project properties, in C/C++ > Code

Multithread" (Sorry for translation, I've a french version of VS
2005). It will inscrease your EXE size (of around 50kb), but you'ill
can run it on any Windows.
