c++ problem

hello i wrote a c++ program, and i wanted to send it to my friends, but everytime i send the exe file to them, they tell me they get the error: "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". I tried to put it on rapidshare, and i downloaded it to my computer, it ran. So i did a little research, and i dont really understand. is it because my friends have vista, or do i have to link staticaly (which idk how to do). Anyways the question is, how can i send the exe of a c++ to someone without sending them the code itself and then them compiling it. Thanks for any help.

static libraries go to Properties - Configuration Properties - C/C++ - Code Generation - Runtime Library and select either "Multi-threaded (/MT)" or "Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd). Otherwise, you'll have to distribute the runtimes with it.

ouch. I think express edition doesn't have the ability to statically link to libraries 
You will need to ship the libraries with your app. Check This Link, and hopefully you can get it to work that way. But personal suggestion: get a better compiler

I personally would suggest using an IDE that's free and fully functional such as Code::Blocks which has a rich set of Features, a pretty good FAQ, and a forum. Personally, I'd download the version that comes with mingw (second link under windows).

You can do it in express. Right click your .cpp file and then properties. Works for me at least.
ok after i download it do i have to change my code at all, like the include statements, or will it just work if i paste the code in codeblocks? thanks for ur help..

You should be able to simply paste the code... though it would be interesting to know if MatEpp's suggestion works in your copy of Express.
