Build an .exe that runs without C++ Redistributable Package

I am using Visual Studio Community 2019 C# (my interface) and Visual Studio 2017 Community C++ (.exe who is called during interface process)
I need to export my project to others PC and if they do not have Visual Studio installed they are missing some dll. I know there is an option to select to free from this kind of things : "C++ 2015 Redistributable Package". Does anyone knows how I can solve this on VS 2019 and VS 2017, otherwise I will be forced to add an installer with my files.
Thanks

Ok i found the solution to whom it may concern, in visual studio 2017 (my C++ code) i did this :
Right-click your project in “Solution Explorer”, select “Properties” from the popped menu. Then the “Property Pages” dialog opens.
In the opened “Property Pages” dialog, select “Configuration Properties->C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime Library” , set its value to “Multi-threaded (/MT)” or “Multi-threaded Debug(/MTd)”.

WebTest Project in Visual studio 2017 professional

I have been reading the documentation on WebTet and LoadTest projects and visual studio and at the time of creating the project in visual studio 2017 Prfessional I discovered that the template does not exist.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/quickstart-create-a-load-test-project?view=vs-2017
inquiring I discovered that it only exists for the enterprise version.
Is there a similar type of project or extension that I can use in the same way for Professional?

No. Web and Load test types and projects are only available in the Enterprise version. See (and expand) the "Testing tools" section of the Visual Studio version comparisons page.

Why does Blend need to change a project created in VS?

[I asked this question in MSDN in June and have had no replies as yet so I am hoping that I can get an answer here. A stackoverflow search for "uwp blend" yielded exactly 100 results, none of which are for the same issue as here.]
I created a brand new WIndows Template Studio solution - called "AppName" - with VS 15.7.3 and added a .NET Standard 2.0 class library project - called "ConversionService" - to the solution.
When I tried to open the solution in VS Blend 15.7.3 (same version number as VS) I got the following - rather scary - message:
One-way upgrade
Visual Studio will automatically make functional changes to the following projects in order to open them. You will not be able to open these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were originally created.
- ConversionService, "[location redacted]ConversionService.csproj"
Non-functional changes required
Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted.
- AppName, "[location redacted]\AppName.sln"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- , ""
What does the above message mean? (I redacted the actual file locations.)
It seems to say that I won't be able to go back into VS to edit the ConversionService project, which is definitely something I want to be able to do.
Why does VS Blend 15.7.3 seemingly not like projects created in VS 15.7.3?
(I previously had the same issue with another completely separate solution containing UWP and NET Standard projects but I didn't need Blend for that.)

Where is the "Add package" lightbulb in Visual Studio 2017?

In C# in Visual Studio 2015 if you specify a name present in a package not currently referenced then the Lightbulb feature pops-up and suggests a package reference to add.
[]
I can't seem to get this in Visual Studio 2017. Is there some extension I need to install or some other setting?

I tested this class that you mentioned and other classed that included in the .NET Core App, it looks like there is no such option ‘Add package ……’ like the following screenshot. I have already reported this issue to the VS Product Team and please have a look at this: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/32739/in-vs-2017-invoke-a-class-that-included-in-a-packa.html, then we need to waiting for the response from the VS Product Team Engineers😊

Cant find Visual Studio Installer Projects on Visual Studio 2013

After finishing my C# application I had to make an installer. After seeing that the default installer projects are gone, i searched for a replacement.
I found the Visual Studio Installer Projects. I downloaded the file from here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d.
When i restarted Visual Studio, opened my project, clicked "add new project" and here is what I got:
Problem is that I cant find the setup project. I have tried repairing the install. I restarted Visual Studio several times.
My Question:
How can I find the installer project and why it's not working for me.
If I cant make it work, are there any alternatives ? (except InstallShield)
Additional info:
Visual Studio 2013 Community with update 4
Windows 8.1 64-bit

You could try Tools > Extensions and Updates and search for it:

Visual Studio setup projects no longer ship with Visual Studio
However, you can download them here.
Or use a third party library like WiX.

I had the same problem and it turns out that visual studio removed the support for installer projects in 2010.
but still you can download and install it in your version
VS2013
VS2015
VS2017
