VB.NET Deployment

[softwarevj]

Hi,

How do I make a setup in VB 2005 and what do i have to do to run the setup on machines where VS has not been loaded

Solution properties, Publish tab for the ClickOnce setup.
If you publish to a folder (for CD-rom distributions and similar) then you will have to distribute all the files in that folder, they will then run the setup.exe

can u elaborate it a bit please. i am not able to understand it as i dont have much knowledge about VB.NET. i am working on my first project in .net

thanks

Another option if you don't find the Solution Explorer and the relevant context menu is to use the main menu, Project, Project Properties. Now the same window will display where you choose the Publish tab.

Another option to directly start the Wizard is main menu, Build, Publish.
