Distributing C apps

Hello.
I have VB.Net and am considering getting the C compiler as well. With VB.net if you create an application you have to have the .net framework installed on any computer that is goin to run the app. This is like a 25mb file.

My question is if I create an app with C in the Visual Studio IDE, will files need to be installed on the computer that will run the app? If so, How large are they? Is there any other signiificant things I need to know before jumping?

Thanks,
Eric

You mean C, C# or C++?

Sorry:

C++

C++, unlike VB.NET or C#, can be "unmanaged". That is, you can write whatever without having to rely (or have your users download) on the .NET framework.
