Hi, you could use a tool to generate a MSI-file, that will install your application and its prerequisites (using a bootstrapping-mechanism). Have a look at the WiX toolset (http://wix.sourceforge.net/[^]). If you have only 5 computer to install on, you can do it manually. Download the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Redistributable *(there is also a version without the need to go online - http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe[^]) Then install your app by copying all files from your bin\Release folder. If you use a database, you have to install the server too. Hope this helps. Regards Sebastian * Needs the Windows Installer 3.1
It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

HI SeMartens, thanks to reply me, i will follow your second option ,i'm downloading the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Redistributable and istall it manually but i need to understand better. When i create the app.exe in the Publish section of Visual Studio(2008 Sp1) and Prerequisites i need to check in the Windows Installer 3.5 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or i will not check in ? After when i will install my app on the computer i need to install first the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Windows Installer 3.1 and finally my app? Sorry for my poor knowledge it is the my first time i develop and install an app. :)

The Windows Installer 3.1 is the program that will handle the installation of applications. The installer of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 needs the Windows Installer 3.1. If it is not present on the system, the .NET Framework will not be installed. Do the following steps to install your app. 1. Copy the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 install file to the pc 2. Execute it to install the framework 3. If this installation of the framework fails because of a missing Windows Installer 3.1, you have to download the file from the web and install the Windows Installer. 4. Go to Visual Studio, select "Release" from the "Configuration Manager" (must be in the toolbar) 5. Build your application 5. Copy the content of your bin\Release folder of your solution to the pc where you want to use the app. 6. Run your app.exe -> if everything is correct your app will run now
