Hi! How to deploy VS C++ 7 Console application that i write
(no compile error), i copy the entire release folder to
client pc, but when i click the exe application, it prompt
missing vc70*.dll files. I have no problem to run VS C++ 6
exe application in client side. So, did i need to use the
visual studio to build one new setup project? I have done
it but it failed to build, step that i taken:-
1. New project ->select setup project
2. Add existing project (my console app)
3. Add Project Output then select my project.
4. Build solution
5. Error prompt out and restart the visual studio and send
error report to microsoft screen pop up.

Please advise, i'm fresh in new c++ 7.0. Thanks!
 
Hello Elvin,

You can either ship the dependencies (the vc7*.dll) dlls with your
application or simply link your program statically against these libraries.

Hi! I din't see any vc7*.dll files in my development pc so
where is the actual location? Does it mean that i no need
to create the deployment project? Thanks!

I don't know any vc7xx DLLs either. But have you double-checked the names?
They didn't happen to read MFC70.DLL and/or MSVCR70.DLL?
Does it mean that i no need

You have to deploy them, any way you like.
 
Why don't you just statically link and avoid all the hassle?
Why waste your time with DLL Hell when you could just as easily statically
link and never have the hassle?
