I'm using Visual C++ to do my projects on and I have a question.

How would I go about sending what I have made to a friend. I'd assume it would be a .exe file but that doesn't work. I'm not trying to send them the code but the finished thing for them to use.

Compile in 'Release' mode, and strip debug symbols if you want a smaller file size.

Ensure they have the proper runtime installed to run your apps as well. Depending on the version of Visual Studio you are using, there are runtime installations for each one.

VS 2010 C++ Runtime:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555 (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14632 (x64)

VS 2008 C++ Runtime:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555 (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=15336 (x64)

And so on..

Alternatively, although I advise against it, you can statically link to the VC++ runtime.

Assuming you have the express edition you don't have that option available. And if you pirate the Professional / Team Suite editions you're better off (legally) not statically linking as well given it's one of the main features stripped from Express.

I've not heard of this limitation. As far as I was aware you can do it. You just set the code generation to link against MT instead of the MT DLL. You may be right though, I've never used the Express versions. I have an MSDN license.

This guy explains it:

Pretty sure it was in 2008 as a limitation. I personally use Professional as well since I have access to it via MSDN, but I'm fairly sure it was limited in at least 2008 if I recall. I could be wrong though.

Google shows:

No resource editor.
No built-in MFC support.
No built-in ATL support.
No profiling support.
No built-in x64 compiler.
No support for OpenMP.
No support for add-ins or IDE macros.
No debug memory or registers window and only one watch window.

MSDN 2008:

MSDN 2010:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hs24szh9%28v=VS.100%29.aspx

Could of sworn someone ( I think it was SunBeam ) was asking me about it a while ago and they got Professional because of it. May have been something else though, been a while.
