How to deploy a Win32 API application as an executable

Question

How can I deploy my Win32 application as an EXE application so that others (who don\'t have VC++ installed) can use it?

I am using VC++ 2010 on Windows 7.

Make sure you build in release mode. As Floris Velleman said, you're using unneeded libraries for standalone executable.

For more information, you can check Compiler Options (MSDN).
