application file
Hi
I did a simple win32 program with visual studio 2008 and everything works good. But how do I convert the project to application and use it on other computers?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you set the configuration to release (look on the toolbar for debug/release dropdown.
Do a build.
In solution explorer, right click on the solution (top of the tree) and select 'open folder in windows explorer.
Go down into the release folder and you should find your .exe there.

Did you create the application using MFC?
if so, you should copy vc80.idb and vc80.pdb with your .exe file, then it works everwhere!!!!

Firstly the files would be vc90… files as he has Visual Studio 2008
The .pdb file is a program database file that holds debugging and project state information that allows incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program.
The .idb file is an intermediate file (can remember what is in it or its use).
But neither of these files should be distributed with your .exe file.
You may need to redistribute files for your program, if you do here is a good place to start looking for information.
