Publishing Windows Application to one setup file
-
Wahoo! I just did my first little Application that is of any use. Its a calculator that my friend uses for work, with some weird Calculations in it. But it works. Anyway, I suppose I have 2 questions. 1. Is there a way to make just 1 Setup.exe file that can be sent without any other files that will install fine at the other end. 2. If not, Which files from the publish directory do I have to send to get the Application to work at the other end? Many Thanks all Tony

1 - not in C#, you also need the .NET framework 2 - yuo probably just need the exe and the manifest. Plus the framework.

Tony, just send an .exe file if it is not having any dependancy dll file.

You can embed the framework in the single setup file. So the framework also will be installed when the application is installing.

So I can just send the setup.exe? when I try copying it to a different folder and running it, I get an error.
The following error occurred attempting to install 'C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\CostingCalculator\CostingCalculator\publish\Release1\test\CostingCalculator.application': "The system cannot find the file specified. " See the setup log file located at 'C:\DOCUME~1\Tony\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD1BA.tmp\install.log' for more information.How would I embed the framework? Cheers all /TH
