Vb express 2008 send exe?

[daviesd5]

hi,

im using vb express 2008 and have just created an application. i am also using windows xp sp2. when i build the application and it creates the .exe file i can only run the .exe successfully on my own system. when i try and send it to other xp systems, or vista it doesnt work!

im guessing it needs specific files to run the .exe on other platforms. someone mentioned that there might be an option in vb express to package up the program so it can be installed and used on other pcs ?

i am quite new to all this stuff, so sorry if this seems a little basic


cheers

Dan

From Build menu or Publish page of Project properties you can create a ClickOnce deployment package, you can also in Prerequisites dialog make it create a setup that checks for and installs prereqs such as the .Net Framework before installing your app to target computer.
