Hi,

I am new to Visual Studio 2005 and wanted to package up my code into a .EXE file. I also have other code not specific to Visual Studio that I want to package(LabWindows CVI). Can anyone give me instructions or point me in the right direction.

I think that is beyond the scope of VC. Get an installation program, something like InstallShield should do it.

Is there anything that is free that I can use? I saw Install shield is pretty expensive.

In most of simple cases you can pack all distributive files in SFX archive (a single compact exe). There are lots of freeware archivers which can do that (7-Zip, for example).
