Hi guys
I have decided to take it upon myself to self-teach myself programming.
I decided to jump in head first and go straight to c++![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)
Anyway I have been reading the basics etc and created three quite simple console programs based on integers and strings.
1. A simple program that you enter a number and it doubles it.
2. A simple currency converter - you enter the exchange and then enter a value and it works out the exchanged rate.
3. A simple data input method that asks you questions like what is your name, age etc and then uses that in the following responses etc.
None of it is cutting edge lol.
But I have compiled the .exe and they run fine on a PC with Visual Studio 2012 installed but didn't work on a PC without it - I got a work around by installing the latest c++ runtime library from Microsofts site.
But I cannot expect users to install the library as 95% of people won't know that they need to do this. Is there any way to embed the library in the .exe or make an installer for it.
