Hi,
I made a JUCE standalone app on my Windows computer.
I can see Visual Studio builds .exe files in the Release and/or Debug folders. But when copying these files to some other computer it does not run. Some dlls are missing.
How van I run my app on other computers? How to make an .exe that works?
If you’re using the Projucer, try changing the “Runtime Library” setting to “Use static runtime”
(Assuming the missing DLLs are the C++ runtime)
Yes this works. Thanks!
I wonder what the correct way is to distribute the application.
It would be great if we only need to send the customer an .exe file. But I guess it is not that simple. Do we need to distribute a full installer? And how can we create that?
It depends: if your app does not need any external file, for example images or audio files, then the .exe is enough and you could distribute directly that.
If you need to package some other asset files along with your .exe, and install them at known location, then an installer is needed. One simple solution to create one is to use InnoSetup, which is an application to create installers
