exe creation for single time installation problem in .net for window application
-
I have created window application. I want to create exe of this project which can be used only once for one installation. Once it is installed it should not be used for another pc.

Nearly impossible and not a good idea. You cannot prevent the installation from happening multiple times on multiple PC's unless each PC is connected to the Internet and the installer checks in with a licensing server to see if it's already been installed. If so, then the installer has to abort itself. But, this is a bad idea. Why? Because what if the end user has to reinstall the software because of a system failure or some kind?? You just lost a customer by forcing them to jump through hoops to reinstall software they already had running.
