debug builds needing VS DLLs

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

I've been working with Visual Studio for quite some time, and only
today I ran into something surprising for the first time.

I compiled a small command-line executable in Debug mode and sent it
to a friend. It failed to run at his computer. Investigating the
problem, I sent him a Release compiled version, which worked. It turns
out that the Debug version is using runtime DLLs in debug version
which are only present when Visual Studio itself is installed. Is this
indeed the case ? Always ? Or only when using Windows libraries (I
used some Win32 API code in the program) ? I'm pretty sure I did it
for pure C/C++ projects before, and Debug worked on other computers.

Thanks
Eli

P.S. The version of VS is 2005
.
