Ohhhh! Really people needs to install C++ Redistributable Package??? In VS2008 EVEN C++ became like .NET which needs 200000 TeraByte .NET framework????<br />
<br />
Why C++? SO I think I should keep continue with VC++ 6, right? Which doesn't need anything... Why I should use VS2008? What preference it have? It needs even more packages and files. It's not standalone like VC++ 6.

If they don't have the VC2008 C Runtime yes :)<br />
<br />
<br />

Well, even VC6 has a C runtime that needs installing, it's just that it's nearly always installed. I would stick to using your VC2008 compiler and just bundle the redist. Over time (just like with VC6.0) it'll become ubiquitous.<br />

<br />
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Why I should use VS2008?<br />
Because older compilers are not as comliant with C++03 (the standard) and when the new standard is ever released they are unlikely to be updated. Of course you don't have to use it :)<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;What preference it have?<br />
Take your pick of all the previous versions of VC or free alternatives, such as Bloodshed Dev C++<br />

Personally, I@d just stick to VC2008, the resit is no big deal really :)<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;It needs even more packages and files.<br />
All C++ programs need the correct C Runtime libraries for the compiler they were built on<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;It's not standalone like VC++ 6.<br />
VC6 was not &quot;standalone&quot; either (see above)

<div>
My DLL in C++ when I open in Dependency walker shows that only it depends on Kernel32.dll and user32.dll<br />
<br />
But when I compile it in VC++2008 it also needs MSVCR90.DLL it means nothing useful in VS2008, VS2008 is completely useless... I don't care about C++ standards etc. as far as It works it means standards
</div>

&gt;&gt; VS2008 is completely useless...<br />
I disagree.. it is by far the best compiler MS have produced.<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;I don't care about C++ standards etc. as far as It works it means standards<br />
Hmmm... you will do if/when you ever need to port your code. VC6 was appalling in respect of being standards compilant.<br />
<br />
Use whatever compiler you are happy with. At the end of the day choose the tool that works best for you.

Hi.<br />
<br />
Any DLL I code and compile in Visual C++ in VS 2008 I get problems with it.<br />
<br />
It needs MSVCR90.DLL as you see in Image, but I don't know why and it not exists in ANY PC. Why it should be like this? It should not need MSVCR90.DLL or any external DLLs.<br />
<br />
Please advice how can I solve it.<br />
<br />
Thanks from now!<br />

Hi.

Any DLL I code and compile in Visual C++ in VS 2008 I get problems with it.

It needs MSVCR90.DLL as you see in Image, but I don't know why and it not exists in ANY PC. Why it should be like this? It should not need MSVCR90.DLL or any external DLLs.

Please advice how can I solve it.

Thanks from now!

VS2008 Compiles, but ALWAYS needs MSVCR90.DLL which not exists

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Editors IDEs

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once

Visual C++.NET

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
