Hi to everyone,
I have a problem in running my MFC application... I explain what I have
done, and hope someone would give some help.

I have created a MFC application with Visual Studio, and I have
compiled it.
I'd like to run this app on another, "clean", computer, so I have
copied the .exe on the other PC.

When I try to execute the app, it fails and the error message says that
it doesn't find MFC71.dll.

I have copied the MFC71.dll on the PC and I try to register it with the
command regsrv32 MFC71.dll, but it gives an error message: it cannot
find the specified module....

Is there another dll that I must register before this one?

Is there another way to compile a mfc application to be executed on a
clean (with no Visual Studio) computer?

Please, excuse me if this is not the proper newsgroup for this
post...would you please tell me wich is the right one?

Many many thanks for help in advance!
Bye,

HS

HS:

For simple applications (and even many non-simple ones) it is so much
easier to use static linking of MFC/CRT.

In VS2003.NET, first make sure you are compiling the Release version,
then open your Project Properties. In General section, set "Use of MFC"
to "Use MFC in a Static Library". Then recompile your project. You do
not need to make this change for the Debug version.
