Visual Studio 2005 problem
 

I recently started using Visual Studio 2005 Express and I have now noticed there are problems running applications compiled in that particular environment on computers who do not have Visual Studio 2005 installed.

It claims the application is not properly configured and refuses to even begin launching it. No DLLs are loaded and no console window opened.

I read somewhere that you had to use some kind of installer with your programs to get them to run on other computers. Anyone here has any more information on that? It feels kind off stupid to make it more complicated to share applications =/

Anyway, I would be happy for any definite information on the subject. Also, if it turns out I have to make some kind of installer does anyone have a good link with information concerning how I should do that to include the things I need to get the applications running on other computers I would be most grateful. I've been content with only putting the nessecary files in a .rar-archive up until now ^_^;;

Thanks for your help!

You need the .net framework in order for them to run.

The OP didn't mention the language (though it's implied by the forum). If you are not programming .NET applications, you don't need the .NET framework. An example would be writing native code programs using VC++ 2005.

Are you using C++ or Managed C++?
