Hi,
I made a Visual Basic program, using Visual Basic Express Edition 2005. It contains several files, after it is published. Is it possible to compile these into one exe file that the user can run?
yes, it does form one exe,
but it also forms a .application file, as well as a folder with the application's name with it...
Is there any way to compress these three items into an installer similar to freeware programs?
thanks,

Create a setup to install the application.
Click Once should enable you to deploy the application to a file share / web server and allow for a simple deployment from by using a URL.
Otherwise if you have a version other than express - you can create a windows installer application.
How do I make the setup?
Sorry, I am fairly new to this.
I am 95% sure I have the express edition.
Thanks a lot.

For Express you'll need to look at the Publish options. ClickOnce is the only deployment option built into the express version.
If youve got 20 minutes - watch the following

It show click once and does an excellent job of demonstrating use to deploy applications. Its simple and most people will pick up what to do just by watching the webcast.
