stdrt.exe ? What the hell?

[GabSt]

What in the world is stdrt.exe? Every time I make an app with MMF2, this runs with it and cant run without it (You terminate it, your app closes). Why and What is that?

[Werbad]

stdrt.exe is the MMF runtime. It is the exe file that is used when you test your application in MMF.

If you use "Compress runtime" in the application properties, when your EXE is run as a standalone application, it will be called stdrt.exe in task manager.

[GabSt]

Yes but it appears even once I compiled my app...

It Shows Both:

stdrt.exe
myappname.exe

[Spryz]

When you make your app properties you can simply choose the option "Compress the Runtime" and it will not use stdrt.exe and will run from its own exe, very simple

[James]

That's because myappname.exe runs, containing the decompression code and your application (as stdrt.exe). It extracts stdrt.exe to a temporary directory and runs it.

Oh ok, so I only have to uncheck "Compress runtime"... Ok Thanks!
