Generating Stand-Alone's in C++

-----------------------------------

Ok, well about 4 months ago I installed Microsoft's Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, and very recently the Dark GDK kit, which is AWESOME! totally free and easy to use, I recommend it for anyone interested in making their own games.  Which is exactly what I did.  But now, I want to generate a standalone .exe file so I can run my game on computers that don't have C++ installed, similar to Turing's exe programs.  I'm sure there is a simple answer to my problem, anyone know what I have to do?  +15 bits to whoever helps me

Can't you just build the project and then get the .exe out of the Debug folder? Should be a file there that is called '.exe'.

Umm, you can select from Debug to Release if you really need a final EXE from the system.
