I have written a simple C++ program and now I want to use it on a different computer.

I have used Visual Studio 2010 for development and I use in it just standard library functions (iostream, fstream, string etc), however when I try to run it on a Win XP machine it won’t run. It sais the program need certain dlls to run.

What’s the simplest way deploy the program so that, after compilation in Visual Studio it’s not generated only the executable(.exe), but the .dlls too.

Note: I don’t want to use Visual Studio Installer.

PS: I’ll appreciate links to good articles about deploying an application.

    This link provides the distribution package for the C & C++ DLLs used by projects built with VS2010.

    Please note the supported operating systems, namely:

    Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (all editions except Starter Edition)

    This link is a guide for deployment so endusers don’t need to hunt these libraries down themselves. Also, just an FYI, there is a difference between release and debug builds and I highly doubt the installation from the first link provides any debugging builds of the runtimes.
