Hi, I am just starting programming using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have had some limited practice in other languages and older versions of C++, so I have some idea whats going on but not much...
Anyway I made a short program which perfroms a bubble sort on an array of numbers which the user enters (I know its nothing to write home about but its a start), it works fine on my PC and when I sent it to a freind who also had VC++ 2005 Express Edition it worked fine for him.
However I then sent it to a freind without it (in a fairly poor attempt to persuade him to download it) , and my program didnt work on his PC giving the error: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make it work on PCs without VC++ (and I think the .NET framework or something, that is with it), or if they have to have the above programs for it to work.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ashley.
