change the visual studio c++ files into installable package

hi all,
i have made runable mfc c++ programs, and i hope to make it into installable package that i can install it in other computer and it can be run immediately without the visual studio framework, is that possible? thanks much!!

There's a great program called Dependency Walker that you can download from the net. It will show you any DLLs that you need to package with your program. Just keep in mind that you shouldn't install the core DLLs like kernel32.dll or user32.dll with your app.

Trust me, that's an easy mistake to make when you're writing your first installer.
