Visual C++: Creating an Executable (.exe) File (2008)

[Shadowshreder47]

Awesome vid :D i was having trouble with finding the app and keeping the window open

[omgunoobinrs7]

@compro226 FYI it is the best c++ compiler

[omgunoobinrs7]

@compro226 yes, the express version is but after a month it will ask you to create a windows account and you will obtain your registration key then use it. basically what im saying is obtaining a registration key is free too.

[compro226]

But Is this visual c++ free ?!?

[iBVGx]

@compro226 ye

[neogeouk]

Is there anyway that the .exe file used in this demo can be opened automatically in full screen instead of a windowed one? i.e. to save pressing alt+enter - Any help would be appreciated :)

[anu12345678ful]

my projects folder in microsoft studio 2008 is empty..

can anyone help?

[Zakkos1]

Does this work in Visual C++ 2010 Express as well?

[VictoriusDawn]

@Zakkos1 click debug, then build soloution, then go to where you save your projects, then in your project you build-ed, click debug.. There should be an app in there

[WhiteWaterMedia]

I tried this, then i uploaded my whole debug folder as a rar file to mediafire, then i downloaded it on a different machine and it still doesn't work :/ any help?

[Olemassacre]

Hello. Can you please make a tutorial on how to create a program that creates an .exe file?

[halffizzed]

why does everyone always click apply and then ok when just OK will work just as well? its puzzling cause so many people i know do it!

as for the video its great, thanks very much, haha

[remailplz]

thx a lot

[salomon0991]

that is very good

[the747videoer]

I can't get Visual fucking Basic :(

[ilife11]

@the747videoer I can. but its on my Grandma's PC! I cant get  it on my XP machiene

[AlienKiller016]

i dont get it i followed the video exactly as u said but when i clicked build solution, then i opened the folder like u said to see the .exe file, there wasn't one

[GT101boy]

ok, I have been learning C++ for a while, and i wanted to make a .EXE for a mad lib I made so my friends and family could play it on they're pc's but, when I do everything in this tutorial, it still opens, let's you do the commands, but after you put in the commands, it still closes out really fast before you can read it, look below to see what my program has in it.

[GT101boy]

@GT101boy

never mind, there is an error with putting the code in here, if you want to see my code to solve the problem tell me so i can put it up here.

[TheFatdemon2]

wow very professional

[xMercuryx56]

@bradrules97 hey my name is brandon too :P

[marc2377]

Sir, when I transfer my exe to another machine, it still not working (msvcr100.dll is missing), even if I choose multi-threaded debug DLL and build the project again (I'm using the "release" option to build and my version is vs 2010 express. Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

[marc2377]

@marc2377 Sorry for my misunderstanding, now works (multi-threaded debug, actually) :P

[RamJim9697]

perfect.. THANKS Thumbs up this guy.. NOT ME lol he deserves it more

[preymouth]

may be a nooby question, but what is the point of using c++ over vb if c++ is so hard to use compared to vb?

[marc2377]

@preymouth Cause you can compile vb only with the .NET framework, but with c++ you can generate programs to win32 formats. As for the language: vb is a high level language, good to use if you wanna create applications wich interates with the user, but you might prefer c++ to create executables to run more performance programs since it uses native code and its a object-oriented language.

[Jinguhagwa]

Amazing

[GHSirNergon]

since your code is all using "std::" why not just include "using namespace std;" to the header to make it cleaner?

[coneris]

What was the default in the properties? I want to change it back, but I cannot for whatever reason. I want to just change it back since I'm just going to use this computer, but now I cannot change it back.. it just runs as an executeable all the time when I don't want it to

[coneris]

What was the default in the properties? I want to change it back, but I cannot for whatever reason.

[NintendoSmash]

How do you decompile a program? :/

because Im trying to decompile a SPEED program and editing it myself to make it faster or edit the speed ranges..combining it into 1 hotkey function :|

[magnusbon]

@NintendoSmash it depends on what kind of program

[spoonmason]

So it should be changed to a Multi-threaded Debug before building in order to make it an indepindant ececutable (.exe) file?

[thelastwords]

Wow thank you very much.  Very well explained

[Tyler11440]

I need some help here, 2 questions:

1. Can you edit forms/add toolbox stuff to a plain Win32 project?

2. Whats the difference between form/MFC/CLR?

[MrWerminghoff]

@Tyler11440

1) yes... but the event handlers are coded manually, there is no wizard for that as far as i know

2) In a short way: form = window mfc = Microsoft library that makes it easier to code object-oriented Win32 apps (but without depending on .net frameworks) clr = on windows it's the .net framework (on linux there's mono)

[qbqbqdbq]

I had some trouble with the Properties Pane segment of your demonstration but I eventually figured it out. Now I'm flying. Thanks!

[utbwatch]

damn it!! use c++ ver. 8 so long just noe the .exe file is in there!! thx a lot man!! i find it long time d!! hv a nice day =)

[genufuk]

hmmm..

mister..

how to decompile dll files into source code file??

[Hruskar77]

i thought about that right after i posted the comment, but thanks anyway :). . .amazing job by the way

[LearnGameProgramming]

thx

[flame479]

i have installed on my laptop but i cant find the program to launch

[ultradude100]

@flame479 Go to: Start> =My Computer> OS:\ (or Local Disk C:\)> Program Files> Microsoft> And it will be in there.

[LotsOfJosh]

PLEASE. Stop saying "left click." It is much easier and less confusing if you just say click. Only refer a click to left or right if it is a right click. I hope everyone knows this, not just me..

[julioberina]

instead of typing std::cout can't you just put "using namespace std;" below "int main()" and instead of typing "char Cchar.......", doesn't system("pause"); work as well?

[IslamPlanet]

@julioberina you have to put using namespace std; BEFORE int main() because after int main() there is the opening curly brace for the main.

doing that is alot more efficient "I think".

The same for system("pause") at the end, I think its better.

[Hruskar77]

men, how do you do this for C++ 2010 Expres ? its not the same as in 2008, there is no BUILD option or Rebuild, or Start Without debugging. . so how to make an exe for Visual C++ 2010 Express ? Thanks

[Endpiece]

@Hruskar77

There is a Build menu but you need to activate Tools>Settings>Expert Settings on the menu toolbar to see it.

[hilaryeins1]

Thanks very much my friend. your help is very helpfulTanks One more time..  If you wanna learn any other languages just visit m website made to help anybody in language learning for free.

[shaia112211]

may allah give all the things you want

[iben092]

uh .. ill never get it . I mean why should I use that instead of Visual basic codings? well .. If someone have a idea of : what to do with this coding .. tell me . Thanks ~

[FusioTe]

where is the c++???

[FusioTe]

WHERE I CAN FIND C++??????????????????

[yoyodude55]

@FusioTe In a store.

[MrBrickwurg]

@FusioTe go to xoax.net, they have a link there...

[YoungMaqler]

each time i write something in, it dosnt change color or anything and im unable to debug it ....help?

[xBchify]

char cChar

std::cin.get(cChar)

this thing doesn't work

can anyone help me?

[shav525]

Beautiful video! Excellent instructions! Hands off to you buddy.

[Nakreb1]

1:35 hahahaha XD

[Taurusaud]

when i follow these instructions i don't get an exe file, i get an exe.intermediate.manifest file... does anyone know why? i want to get just a plain exe file that a user can click on and the program runs, please help...

[TheTutMasta]

@Taurusaud i get the same :(

[Taurusaud]

@TheTutMasta i ended up figuring it out - i was looking in the wrong folder... i don't recall the exact directory the correct exe file was in but try backing up a few and looking for bin or something...

[AssassinGrudge]

Nice way of talking Nice way Demonstration thank you

[ivandonat]

Are normal C++ and C++ express edition same , is the only difference that Express edition has compiler built in?

[lukeosborne]

Thank you so much, finally I can now run exe files independent of Visual 2008 :D

[ventureelect]

fantastic video.

[george7378]

Excellent tutorial - very good at getting started.

[NateTheBroadCaster]

Is it just me or does he sound EXACTLY like Hobbs?

[mathivanji]

Thanks for the tutorial videos . They are extremely useful ...

[TechKimmico]

This was a good Tutorial, but i made a simple web browser, so i wonder, is it the same way on a web browser as the "Hello World" Application you made?

[JogreRush]

EXTREMELY USEFUL thank you sooooooooo much :D

[Quizerno]

Is it possible to do this in the 2005 version? It does not have the "Build" tab.

[Quizerno]

Nevermind, I was just not selecting the console option.

[iamjoseph951]

i'm pretty sure every version has a build function somewhere

[punxz18]

Are console apps still used today?

[ikekszi]

@punxz18

yeah I think so. there's a game on Steam "Zero Gear" if u start it, it first starts the console, so I think its used ^^

[magica2z]

Nice and clean video,,, thanks dude. 5 stars for you.

[disasterupload]

How do you do this in 2010??

[disasterupload]

i agree

[theiphonevlog]

great video

[ninjakid09]

ok i dont know wat this is but im playing a game nd it says microsoft visual c++ studio something like that failed.....

[BufferOverflowAttack]

I'm fairly new to VC++ but could you also add a system("PAUSE");.... to allow the window to remain open after execution?

[rhillner]

Yes, but cin.get() is better

[professionalsp]

thank you >>

[KingSimmy]

Great video, really well explained good code

thanks

[BychkovVV]

Thank you so much!

[pswadmin1]

Thanks guys!

You're great!

Keep going like this!

[MoonWerewolf]

who i do this in code::blocks ?

[MrPonebo]

I am sorry, I accidentally clicked thumbs down and cant reverse it. would someone give him the thumbs up, please?

[iliescosmin]

thank you so much..!!!

[ygao2008]

xoaxdotnet, I love you so much. This tutorial is so easy. I have been researching on how to do this for a long, long time. Until I found this video, it's like only one step of setting, without doing anything to the .dll files. It's amazingly easy, I love you!

[wasitrealy]

w00000t 2nd to comment!!!

i can just about make a simple programme

[ZahrahLand]
