My friends can't use an app I wrote, even though it works fine.

    I wrote a console app in C, using Visual Express 2008. It works fine on my own computer, and when I sent the source code to a friend, she compiled it and it worked fine on her PC too.

    However I have uploaded the application to a free-hosting website and when my friends download the executable file it doesn't work. They just get a configuration error.

    The website is:

    Can anyone help? I'm new to programming and this is my first try at it. Would be great to share my work!

    I compile and build then use the executable file from the debug folder. It works fine on my computer but not on others. I tried including another folder which someone said it needs but my friends still can't use it. :/ Ok I give up on Microsoft Visua C++ 2008 Express.

    Can anyone recommend a decent C compiler out there which is free and has a graphic interface?

    use the djgpp compiler. its not all graphical n chit, but it gets the job done just fine.
