    I am new to .NET I have completed my project and want to deploy the files to a clilent machine. How do I go about it? I have created the setup files. But installing these on clients system dosent run them properly.. It closes after some time. (Fatal error comes). What files do I need to copy to the setup? I have copied the exe files from the debug folder iniside my project folder.. Do I have to build the project on Release mode and then take the exe's? Does copying the exe's will solve the purpose or do I have to copy some other files?? Please help me..

      Yes, but you also need the .NET framework.

        you should make your setup through setup wizard... and it's better to point your exe from release folder... by making setup through setup wizard it automatically includes the dependencies which u may be missing while making setup by yourself

            .NET is very easy to deploy. If you only use the built in functionality, ie. no external dll's, you can simply move the exe and run it. Assuming that you have the correct .NET Framework installed. There are minor differences between Debug and Release mode and I don't think this is the reason for the crash. If the program closes after some time it seems more likely that you have a bug that you need to fix in your program.
