Cannot open program
 |
Hi guys , after finishing my text based game , when i send the executable file to my friend he cannot open it .. he get an error that smth is wrong in configs file .. he also has framework installed
Actually this is not very C++ related I think, but OK, can you tell me what error he's having and can you provide me a link to or attach the source of your game to this thread ?

The problem is most likely DLLs. I have seen similar error on Vista. Make sure you compile the program for Release mode, not Debug mode. How to do that will depend on the compiler you are using.

So you're saying that if you take the exact same exe and config file that works on your machine and transfer it to your friend's machine, it doesn't work?
Does he have the exact same OS as you? Has he installed your program in the same way as you have?
