is there a proper linker now in visual c++ 2005

Im using visual c++ 2005 express beta2.

I understand that one of the big complaints with 2003, was there there
is no proper linker? Is this true and has it been changed in 2005 ?

When i was using BC ++ builder i could compile source code into .lib
files and also embed resource files into the exe, i wanted to
distribute. Im told this cant be done with .net products, is this
true.

Im looking for being able to create/embed libs (not necersarily dll's
but that would be nice) and resource files and furture 3rd party
controls into 1 large exe that i can ship. I i can embed activex
controls that would be good too.

what about being able to embed only the NEEDED .net controls into the
runtime exe so thats it not needed to distribute the whole .net
runtime enviroment?

Any advice appreciated.

The exact specification is: there is no static linker shippping with ..NET SDK.
It's not in MS plan to have one and this (non-)issue hasen't been "fixed" as it doesn't exist!

Anyway there are 3rd party for building all in one (including required ..NET API) application :

Anyway I think you will save great pain to your user by simply installing the .NET runtime, if needed for your installation, read about that.
