How to make Realease build? by default its debug build

thanks for reply.

Answer 1

As a wild guess, you have deployed the Debug build, which depends on DLLs that are not allowed to be shipped.

If that is the case, have VC6 create a Release build and deploy that.

You can verify which DLLs are required by your application with the depends.exe utility that came with Visual Studio.

Edit: The easiest way to get a release build when ready is to use the Batch Build command from the Build menu. It will let you pick among all of the known build types in the project, and choose to either build them clean (recommended) or to just bring them up to date.

It is also possible to switch the GUI to default to the Release build instead of Debug. That is the right thing to do if you actually need to run the debugger on the Release build. Note that both builds include debug symbols. The differences have more to do with which runtime libraries are linked, and certain optimizations such as making the assert() macro have no effect.
