How to run a C # .exe file on many computers?

Question

I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed on my computer. I wrote a program using C # and created a .exe file in the Debug directory. When I double click on the .exe file, I can open it on my machine. But if I copy this .exe file and try to run it on another computer (which does not have Microsoft Visual Studio ), it does not work. Could you tell me how can I make a .exe file on any computer? Or if you know a website that explains this. I did this with Winzip a long time ago, including including all the library files alone with a .ext file. but I don’t remember how I did it. Does anyone know how to include all of my library files in a .exe file. so can i run it on computers that don't have these library files?

Answer 1

Programs compiled with VS2010 can target various .NET Framework. However, in many versions of Windows, the latest versions of .NET are not always installed.

Check which version of the .NET Framework your program is using by viewing the Application tab of your project properties. You should see the Target structure drop-down list, which will tell you which version of the platform other computers will need to install to run your program.

You have several options for your program to work on other computers.

• Compile the program with a different, lower structure. (For example, .NET 2 is often available on Windows XP, while .NET 4 is unusual on this OS.) This will only work if you are not using any features from later versions of .NET.
• Install the required .NET platform on the client machine. Microsoft provides frameworks for downloading and installing from http://www.microsoft.com/net/download
• Try creating a Windows installer using the setup project template. Add a new project to your solution from the Installation and Deployment category. After setting up this project, you must have an installer to work on other machines.

Answer 2

You must have the appropriate version of the .NET Framework installed on the computer on which you want to run the application.

Answer 3

This is what you need to do.

• Check which OS version of your computer. If it is Windows XP, check if it has .net framework 3.5 or 4.0. You can download it here Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5
