[RESOLVED] I tried to use my program on another computer...

[Austin.Soucy]

Hello all,

I have just finished a port scanner that I made for fun and practice. I was fairly proud of it as it was my first multi-threaded program(up to 1002 threads!!! ). So naturally I wanted to go show it to my networking buddy.

I threw the app on his computer, ran it, and -POW- I got hit with a 'MSVCP100.dll cannot be found.' error message.

After doing a little research i found that applications developed in Visual C++(I'm using 2010 express) using STL are often dependent on this DLL. So my initial thought was to move the DLL with the program and drop it in his system32 folder. Well come to find out I don't even have the DLL on my computer. I have similarly named ones such as MSVCR70.dll, but not that specific one.

I think it is worth mentioning that he is running XP and I'm on Vista. Could different OS's search for different DLL's for the same information? And if so, how do I know which DLLs to include to make the app portable? I'm really not sure what is going on here so any info would be appreciated.

Obviously it would be great if my app could be independent of this DLL all together...
