title: Static linking to lib and still requesting DLL
body: <p>Using visual studio 2008, I have an <code>.H</code> and a <code>.LIB</code> file of a library.
  I wrote a program and referenced the LIB via the project properties.
  It compiles fine, but when it runs, it asks for the DLL to be installed.
  If the DLL is in the same dir as the <code>EXE</code> it works but, if I have the <code>LIB</code>, doesn't it already mean the functions are statically linked to my program? </p>
