Creating exe file
I have finished making my code for an object oriented implementation of a hydrology program for my academic project. I have been using Microsoft Visual studio. the program runs well so my goal is to now make an exe file. however, after choosing release and building, i cant find an exe file in the release folder. I can only see "HBV_Jjunju.exe.intermediate.manifest". How can i get the exe. Also, do i export all the files to someone who wants to use the software?
I have now found the exe. file but I am still puzzled about whether I need to copy all the files in the folder if I am sharing the program as ooposed to copying just the exe file.
To distribute the exe and get it to run on someone elses machine - you
need the exe file, and also a whole lot of DLL's.
If you go to where Visual Studio is installed on your PC, (probably C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 or something similar, you
will see a txt document called redist.txt.
This will tell you which dlls you need to supply and where they are located.
Alternatively you can get them this way (assuming we are talking about C++ program):
