Cocos2dx windows desktop app

Hi there,
Firstly, I am newbie in cocos2dx.
Secondly, I use MS Visual Studio 2010 Pro and cocos2d-2.1rc0-x-2.1.3.
I made Simple Game as there http://www.cocos2d-x.org/projects/cocos2d-x/wiki/Step_by_Step_Cocos2dxSimpleGame_Series for win32.
It was compiled without any errors and worked with MVS 2010 properly, but I can’t send this game my friends which don’t have MVS or another development tools.
I tried sending SimpleGames.win32.exe, SimpleGames.win32.ilk, SimpleGames.win32.pdb and all libs with .dll and .lib extensions together, but the app didn’t lunch (happened nothing).
I can’t find any relevant information about my problem. I hope you can help me.
Thank you!
Al.

Having problems with this as well.
The program runs fine in Visual Studio but running the exe won’t work.

Here is my setup:
Windows 7
Visual Studio Express 2012
cocos2d-2.1rc0-x-2.1.3

Try the approach I posted in the third post here: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/boards/6/topics/26652?r=28459

well if i understand you right , to create new project with latest stable build ( im using 2.1.5 )
you do :
1.cd to cocos2d-x-2.1.5\tools\project-creator
2.run the python script ( you can run create_project.py -help for the options)
3.then go to the cocos2d-x-2.1.5\projects dir and there you will find your template project created
4.from within visual studio 2012 load the VC project that located in you new project
proj.win32 directory .
5.compile and run .

is this solved you problem ?
