Replies BBallAsh23 Posted at 7:51 am on Aug. 10, 2008 If you go to your my documents folder/ visual studio/ projects/ whatever said project is called... and if you look in the debug folder I believe you will find the .exe file.  If you send your friend that he will be able to run the program.  Mind you he will not be able to see any of the code. marshmellowman Posted at 1:09 pm on July 16, 2008 Quote: from Eric 2009 at 9:05 pm on July 16, 2008 i mean i got it built..... but when i send it to my friend.... i send him the exe and it wont open he is running windows like i am Does it work on yours? Visual C++ requires the .NET Framework to operate on a computer. He needs to download that if he doesn't have it. You can find it here.

Then it should come up with the progress screen like below: ------ Build started: Project: newproject, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ Compiling... stdafx.cpp Compiling... newproject.cpp Linking... And it should be done. All 4 previous replies displayed.
