include libraries inside vb.net executable
-
Hi everyone, Is there a way to include all the referenced libraries in a vb.net excutable using visual studio? I'm trying to make the code portable to other Windows machines that may not have .net framework installed. I know this can be done with c++ in visual studio. Thanks!

No, if an app needs .NET you need to install .NET first. (The one exception is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry expensive). :)

I only read formatted code with indentation, so please use PRE tags for code snippets.
I'm not participating in frackin' Q&A, so if you want my opinion, ask away in a real forum (or on my profile page).

I think you're talking about compiling the .EXE and merging all the assemblies into the resulting .EXE. You cannot do that using the standard Visual Studio and .NET Framework SDK toolset. There are third party tools out there that can do it, but none of them are free and they all cost considerable money. Salamander[^]. Thinstall was replaced with VMWare's ThinApp[^]. XenoCode Virtual Application Studio[^] ...among others... You're looking at spending at least $1,200.00 on these things.
