smacdo / guidgenerator

A very simple GUID generator written in C++ using the windows api.

GUID Generator

An extremely simple Windows application that generates random GUIDs. It was written using only the Visual C++ runtime library and the Windows SDK, meaning it generates a tiny executable with no dependencies. (The runtime library is statically linked).

Enjoy! The code isn't my best work - it's not bad, just simple and contained in one file. If people find this useful, I will support it with new features and bug fixes.

Project Setup

1. Install Visual Studio 2012 (Works with VS Express, but requires Platform SDK).
2. Double click solution file.
3. Click run.
4. Success!

Requirements

Windows Vista or later. That should be it.
