Using Visual C++ compiler vs. Lcc compiler

Dear All,
I recently set my compilers to the Visual C++ 2008 Express compilers (using mbuild -setup, and mex -setup).
I received warnings saying that if I redistribute my applications, I would have to make sure the Visual Studio run-time libraries are on the computer I am distributing to.
Does this mean that even if I package the MCR with a standalone executable (using the deployment tool), the user would have to install Visual Studio? If I want to prevent this should I simply use the Lcc compiler?
Thanks, Philip

I suggest not to use the LCC compiler. The functions compiled by MSVC are remarkably faster. As Kaustubha Govind explained, you do not need the MSVC compiler on the client machine, but just the runtime libs. They are freely available and have a size of some MB only.
