making an executable file problem

[Bestor]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how to make an executable file.
a few hours ago i finished my first game and wanted to make an .exe of it.
I have been to a website for information about it but that didnt seem to work properly.
Note: i am using an static library in this game

I tried going to properties -> C/C++ -> Code generation and then changing the runtime library from Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) to Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd/).

I got a few errors like LNK2005.
The full error is stated here:

I hope you can help before next week.
edit:
I actually do have an .exe in my folder which works on my own pc.
But if i send i to a friend of mine it gives an error and says that it cannot be started because the configuration is incorrect.
Afterwards it says that you should consult the commandprogram sxstrace.exe for more information.

Anyone has a clue? Cause I am totally clueless at the moment.

edit2:
My friend helped me at the last possible moment.
The problem was the extra.h folder.
I just had to delete that and it worked fine.

Did you forget to #include <string> ?

I don't think he didn't. He did include it, he didn't link the right libraries. I just don't know what's the std library, maybe MSVCR100.lib/MSVCR100D.lib ?
Note: MSVCR100D is the Debug edition of MSVCR100.
(To link a library in MSVS, you can use: #pragma comment(lib, "LibraryName") )
