Hi,
I have written a c++ program which takes a word and prints a list of all possible words that can be formed from it. I want to create a .exe file which can serve this purpose for me. By that I mean, I don't want to always compile and run the program to use this application. I want to use it like a separate tool (just like we use separate calculator etc.) in windows. Is it posible to do that ?
Thanks
I don't get your question ...
Actually an executable file is called a stand-alone application ...
So you CAN use it as a stand-alone application ...
No man, I am using VS 2008 and the executable file does not run by itself. Even if i use it, it runs and then after entering the input, it vanishes instantaneously. However, from command prompt it works.

Add cin.get(); at the end of your application ...
Without getting into details. When you compile your code, the compailer (most compailers) give you 2 exe files. The one in the "Debug" folder, and another one in the "Release" folder. You need the exe file from the "Release" folder.
Oh, OK I just read tux's comment. Yeah, that is a different kind of problem.
cin.ignore( 1, '\n' );
cin.get();Try cin.ignore if cin.get() doesn't work by itself. Or flush the ostream, by putting "endl" in your output.
Hi,
Tux4life:
Thanks man, that worked !
BevoX:
There is no release folder. I am using Visual Studio 2008.
Click on Build, then select Configuration Manager. A window will pop up, then under the "Active solution configuration" roll down the menu and select "Release". Then compile your code again, and you will have a "portable" stand alone app.
Then compile your code again, and you will have a "portable" stand alone app.
which will only run on PC's with .NET framework 2.0

Wrong !
In Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 you've the choice between a stand-alone application or one which relies on .NET ...
