Are you publishing the project or just copying the files?

See the green triangle somewhere at the top of the IDE? Click it. Can also press F5...

Hi, what do you mean about publishing and copy? actually, i just want to bring my executable, not all my project application, but i think because i used a lot of tools, but i already copied too the DLL for all tools , but it still can't run, can you help me about this? it is possible if i don't install the tools that i used in another computer, but i just bring all DLL and my executable, and then i run (Double click) my executable?

I hope my explanation is clear for you.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Michael

sounds like you are wanting to make an installer. is that correct? something that will install the .exe and the .dll's with only one file?

Hi michaeltjia,
what do u want to do with exe file, do u want to install or to start from bin file,
if u want to install goto setup and deployment from strat project in the begining->prop of setup->FileSystem->Application folder,desktop and programers menu u can find
select application folder and goto side window and select context menu and select add new short cut.....in that way u wil get the Applications .exe from that setup projects release folder.

Hi, What i want is, to have an executable file and i can bring the executable file without have to install all the tools that i used, maybe something like installer, but i don't have to install all tools that i used if i run the application in another computer or PC. can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Michael

if you are using any version of Visual Studio EXCEPT the Express version, you can make a Setup & Deployment project with will create an installer.

If you are using the Express version, you will need to download an Installer "maker". There are a couple of free ones available.

Do you know where is the setup and deployment? i mean, i already have an application, and i want to make an installer, correct me if i'm wrong, to create an installer from visual studia 2008, just search how to publish? it is right?

thanks for your help

in VS, go to File --> New --> Project --> Other Project Types --> Setup and Deployment --> Setup Project
