Standalone programs with VC++ 2010 Express

[jlewis86]

I've created a program with VC++ 2010 Express that works as I intend within the IDE but does not function at all when run standalone, and it doesn't cause any errors. The project statically links a third party library libcurl. I think this has something to do with my problems because my other programs work fine, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

The VC++ solution has a "libcurl" project that builds the libcurl.lib from source and my application project is dependent on the "libcurl" project.

When u ran the standalone did u just grab the exe from the ide folder?

I left it in the debug folder and it still didn't work.

Nevermind. Dumb problem. Turns out the default path for the program is different when run outside the IDE. It caused the program to fail when opening a file that wasn't there.
