You can create your program in two ways: 

    link with static runtime libs.
    Use either the /MT or the /MTd option to cl.exe. In this case, you will have no dependency on the msvcrt DLL, and therefore you will   
    not have to redistribute it. In Visual Studio, right click on the Project or Solution, Properties > C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime  
    library use Multithreaded and Multithreaded debug respectively. This is the easier way. The downside is that the resulting executable 
    is larger.

    link with the dynamic C Runtime library.
    You will use either the /MD or the /MDd option to cl.exe.
    In Visual Studio, right click on the Project or Solution, Properties > C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime library use Multithreaded 
    Dynamic Link and Multithreaded Dynamic Link debug respectively. This results in a smaller EXE, but the downside is that you must 
    install the required MSVCRT when installing your application.


This is from this site:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1073509/should-i-redistribute-msvcrt-dll-with-my-application

So this is, what I am talking about.

The sourcecode is the same.
