Works On XP, But Not 98

I compiled my program on WIndows XP, and the executable works fine.
But when I try to run the executable on a W98, the resulting error
says something like the executable is linked to missing export
mfc.DLL.688

Do I have to compile my program on a W98 machine to yield a workable
program on W98? Do I have to link .dll files?

I'm just a newby, so if any linking is needed, I'd appreciate learning how to.

Thanks,

Matt

You'll have to redistribute the correct version of mfc42.dll, or change the project options to statically link with MFC. I prefer the static link; it has much fewer problems than installing the newer version of mfc42.dll (that's 6.5.3014.0 in my machine, that runs Windows 2003 Server).

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm a newbie...how do I change the project options to statically link that .dll file with MFC? And does that greatly affect the size and/or speed of the executable?

Thanks again.

In the Project Settings you can change the link type, it will add about 300k to your exe size.
