exporting game

difficult question (easy question, difficult answer)

I made a game, but I wantto run it on another pc.
Now I save C:\myproject\.... in a zip, add a few files like msvcm80.dll (why I don't know) unzip it un the other pc and hooray the game runs...

I don't find these a nice way to export my game, I include many files that are not nesessary and maybe it just works by accident.


does somebody export his games on more elegant way (like an installer) with only the nesessary files included (winXP)?

VC8 has this thing about wanting to distribute a bunch of its own dll's, don't ask me why, but yea, an installer is the most common route, specifically since there is only one that you *have* to package to package up your dll's that VC8 wants, it is made from within VC8.
