Comment:

have made a simple program in C Language to calculate simple interest. I ran it successfully.

But, I don't know how to make setup.exe of that program so that I can install it in another PC where C / C++ is not installed.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

C/C++ compiles your program into machine code; no installer is necessary.

You may need some of the run-time libraries (.DLL files), depending on your version of the compiler and the target machine's operating system. If you just copy the executable on the target machine, it will tell you which DLL files it needs (if any) when you run it.

Alternatively you can set up your build options to use "Static libraries" which will make your .exe file a little larger but will not depend on any .DLL files.

I think Inno Setup and NSIS with nisedit are 2 good setup creators.

There is written proof that God created the earth.
