EXE files don't work with VS

For some reason I send an exe file to someone that I coded on Visual Studio and they get 2 errors.

  • VCRUNTIME140D.dll
  • ucrtbased.dll

These errors are apparently occurred from when you don't have Visual Studio installed, but obviously you shouldn't need VS to need to run EXE files, so why is that the case for me?

They need the VS distributable runtime on their system or you need to statically build it into the executable.

Did you send him a release build or a debug build?

So all exe files have runtime in them, because I have friends that don't have it and run lots of different EXE files.

Try sending him the release build.

Debug build is very slow and requires those DLLs to provide debugging information in Visual Studio (which your friend doesnt have installed).

Build in release mode (to left to the green play button).

 

Then navigate to your projects folder (the default is Documents/Visual Studio 2015/Projects/NAMEOFPROJECT).

After you have build the project in release mode this folder should contain a "Release" folder with the exe inside.

No-one is testing it now, because they don't trust me :/

Fair enough.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.
