How do I allow a friend to view a c program I wrote?

Question

Hey guys! So recently I wrote this c program that will execute and basically say happy birthday in the command prompt window when it compiles. I realized, however, that if I moved the compiled ".exe" file to a normal computer that my mother use (for testing). It cannot run. Showing that "The Program can't start because MSVCR110.dll" is missing. To my understanding, this issue is caused when the computer does not have C++ redistributable installed which comes usually when installing Visual Studio. I don't want my friend to have to go through trouble of installing anything and just click and run my program. Can I please get some suggestions on how to do this?

Answer 1

Do select static linked EXE during compilation

Answer 2

Download the MSVCR110.dll (and other required files) and place it in the folder containing your program. the program will run without any installing.

Answer 3

Either include (redistribute) the missing .dll's with your application, or statically link.

Answer 4

you need an install program that will install the DLL along with the EXE
