As long as it is a compatible machine (i.e., Windows XP). BTW, you
should get a newer version of VC++, that one is old and not entirely
compliant with standards. Microsoft has a free compiler -- Visual
Studio Express 2005 -- that you can download.

Let me ask you this -- do you normally need to compile software on
Windows before running? You just install it and run it, right? Most of
the software you install was probably developed with Visual C++...

Most likely, as long as you aren't using any 3rd party libraries that
your friend would need to install also. And you might have trouble
running a program on Windows ME that you ahd compiled on Windows XP.
