How to run vb 2005 .exe files on another computer?

Hi guys, I have a question about running an .exe file that was made with vb 2005 b2 on another computer. On my machine I just yank out the .exe files and run the progams without using the whole install thing but today I took an .exe file to my Mom's house and her machine said it needed the .NET Framework to run it - so if I run the install wizard for my programs will they then work on other peoples computers?
Thanks a bunch, Steve

Hi,

You can do two things. One is to separately install the .NET Runtime on the other machine from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7ABD8C8F-287E-4C7E-9A4A-A4ECFF40FC8E&displaylang=en

Or, build a setup and deployment package which includes the .NET Framework in it. However, since this is beta software Microsoft recommends that that the redistributable be directly downloaded from the web.

Regards,
Vikram

How do I run an .exe file that I create? Where are these files located? I looked in the projects folder and saw the \bin folder and tried running the .exe file there of my application, but each program I create crashes and closes down. These programs run within vb 2005 b2, but when I try to run the .exe file, I get nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated... JT
