      if it's .NET, you should be able to put it on a memory stick and run it from there.

        This is simply xcopy deployment. Just copy the files from your \bin\Release directory to a folder on the other machine, and voilĂ !

          See http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/mbarnett/ilmerge.aspx[^]. Personally, I don't see much advantage to a single EXE as opposed to multiple assemblies, but this tool will allow you to merge them.
