  </ol>
  
  <p>except the fact that I didn't see the button earlier (I've started coding in Visual Studio just recently). I've installed some packages, which were adviced in mentioned topics, like "Azure" and "ASP.NET", but it didn't solve the problem. I don't understand, how it could help (I code on C++ and have not to use these packages, do I?) and what exactly I should do (maybe I've downloaded something wrong).</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>

  <p>Then, how to make standalone exe-file, that doesn't require something other like .pdb, .ipdb and .iobj and can be run on another coumputer without Visual Studio?</p>
