I compiled this as a static library so it wouldn't error on another persons machine. If I did a bit more work I could make it use the MFC shared libraries already on your computer. The problem with the last version I put out I tried doing it with the mfc shared dll's and didn't include the dll's. This is one of the draw backs to MFC true that most all computers have the MFC runtime libraries on them but you have to do more checking to see where they are. Then if they are not their you have to have them with your program so they can be used. This is why .net came along now Microsoft pretty much forces you to have .net on XP and hirer so its not as much of a problem. The executable is quite a bit smaller if I compile it to use the shared library but as you saw before it couldn't find the dll's on your computer because I made a very basic MFC program that doesn't hunt down your shared libraries.

I've seen that the window is created as a dialog and not as a normal window... But anyway, I don't understand something. I've seen that the Bit Torrent client UTorrent is smaller than this FruitBasket program, although it does much more. I also thought it is made using MFC, but now I don't think that anymore. Do you have any idea what language/GUI can be used to create such a small program that does so many things which doesn't require .net?

This doesn't make for the best size but it should work on everyone's computers. The two links are the same but in case you didn't save them they are: .rar <http://www.blinksoft.com/~whistler/FruitBasket-MFC.rar> http://www.blinksoft.com/~whistler/FruitBasket-MFC.rar .zip <http://www.blinksoft.com/~whistler/FruitBasket-MFC.zip> http://www.blinksoft.com/~whistler/FruitBasket-MFC.zip Please try one out and let me know if it works.
