I got it...here is the solution...

We can use nmake utility to create executable file and its not necessary that visual studio should be installed.

Nmake command needs .mak file of project. That we can export from MVC++ IDE by selecting Project -> Export Make File

Then execute nmake command by following syntax


nmake -f ProjectName.mak
Defalut is debug build. We can change to release build by following syntax :

nmake -f ProjectName.mak CFG="ProjectName - Win32 Release"
