What cautions one should be aware of before handing out an .exe file


Does an .exe contain any personal computer information (what if any) that must be taken care of and what must be done before giving out a standalone .exe file?


Solution

  • The only personal information is path to .pdb file, like "c:\path\to\outdir\Release\program.pdb".
    It may be useful for post-mortem debugging, so just change output directory if needed.
