i've written my first programme in C++ using Borland Developer Studio 2006 Architect.

I managed to finish it but when i distributed it for testing and tried it on my other maching without BDS2006 i get an error message saying "this application has failed to start because vcl100.bpl was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem".

Since i come from a Delphi background, applications are really easy to deploy to clients, all you generally need is the exe files unless you're using extras.

How do I do it C++, it's a small application with uses microsoft access 2003 database (connected by jet/ADO) it works fine on the machine it was developed but not any other system that I've tried to install it on or simply copied the files across.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

For anyone else who is interested or wants to know! Deployment is the same as Delphi except that Delphi will most likely be a single exe file. In this case, C++ will require it's support files, these files will most likely be bpl files.

To find out what your C++ application requires, use a programme called process explorer (freeware) or pe explorer (for retail). These 2 programmes will displays all the necessary files required by C++ in order to export or deploy to a non-C++ environment.

I personally prefer PE Explorer.
