lost on final steps of project.
I am trying to learn Visual Basic on my own and would like to create small one window programs that can be run independently on any windows machine. I created a simple math program that runs fine in visual basic 2005 express beta 2. I want to build it as a simple application I can load on another machine by way of a floppy disk but I can't get it to work. I'm missing something basic but I don't know what it is. I followed the steps in chapter 8 of the book "Visual studio 2005 deployment project types" and I can't get the program to load on another machine (windows2000). Can someone give me a good resource for walking through the procedures to complete my project?

What error are you getting?
Note: If you build your program in VB Express, you can just copy the binaries from the bin directory to your floppy and that is all you need to run on the target machine.
*However*, you need to have the Whidbey framework installed on the target machine (which is a ~20MB download that won't fit on a floppy). That may be your problem.
The error I get is:
"An error occurred in the following resource: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=37285"
The target machine is not connected to an internet link, could that be the problem?
ONE: Youll need the latest version of the .NET Framework 2.0 on the destination computer.
TWO: The computer may need an updated version of the Windows Installer. Latest is 3.1, I think.
