Creating a usable program from a C++ console application

I am currently learning a great deal of coding in Visual Studio using the c++ programming language in class. I have building console applications for quite some time and I feel that I can handle, or at least start learning, converting these console application into actual programs others can install on their computers.

So my question is..... Whats the process of actually creating programs from console applications?

You're not very clear in your question, but I'm going to assume you mean making an executable that you and others can run. Well, when you build/debug you're actually already doing that. How else would you run your program? If you want to use it or want others to use it, you can just build it in release mode (instead of debug mode) and share that executable (.exe) file. It should be in the "Release" folder in your solution directory by default.
