how to deploy console application?

[Daniel]

I have created a Win32 Console Application in Visual C++, and I'd like to
run the solution on a computer that doesn't have Visual C++ installed on it?
What do I need to do? Is there some sort of deployment wizard in Visual
C++?

Daniel:

Change the Release mode project setting to use static linking (/MT).

Project Settings->Configuration Properties->C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime library

Then you should just be able to use your .exe on another machine.

I've just gotten Visual Studio 2008.
I wrote my first c++ console app. It runs perfectly.
I too wish to deploy it as a stand alone app runnable on
any machine.

Let's say I have the solution opened in the IDE. I want to deploy it. Can you tell me as if I were blind what I am to do? Click here, press this key, enter this...

Also, is there a book or other place where I can get this kind of instruction? I once took a VB course and this is exactly the kind of book we used. It was a great class. I could do eveything!

Thanks.

What is wrong with the instructions I gave Daniel on 02-Jul-08? That's all there
is to it for simple applications.

Or is it that you do not know where to find the release mode executable in your
file system?
