title: Deploying without installer
body: <p>I'm doing a very small windows application consisting of just a single executable. As the program will reside on a SD card I want the application to be as self contained as possible, and I'd rather not have an installer. I'd want the user to be able to simply copy the executable to the SD card and be able to run it straight away without fiddling with anything extra. The problem then becomes the fact that my program is compiled with VS 2008 which requires versions of the CRT which I can't guarantee is installed. I'm linking statically to the CRT, which I incorrectly thought would circumvent this problem. I've been thinking of tracking down some older VS version, but I have a feeling this is the incorrect path. I want the program to run on a fresh install of windows xp and above.</p>
  
  <p>Grateful for any help.</p>
