I am ready to deploy my first windows vb.net application. Which strategy should I use for this deployment?
Is XCOPY available

Thanks in advance!

XCOPY is available assuming you have developed your application to support
it. If you application resides in one directory including all referenced
assemblies and does not use any outside assemblies stored in the GAC (other
then the system/microsoft/ or visualbasic assemblies) then you should not
have a problem.

If it's a simple application that doesn't use any ActiveX controls or
stuff like that, just copy the executable into a folder on the
destination computer. Notice that the .NET Framework must be installed
on the computer in order to be able to start the application.

How about security?
I sent an EXE to a client hoping it would work and It didn't.
What I did was send an msi installation and worked fine

Security and Xcopy, In my case I sent an EXE and my client couldn just use
it. Even though
he has the framework 1.1 installed in his machine.

Error message?

Are you sure, all required components and files were sent to the client?

If I use this method...of copying and pasting then other application on my user's computer will not
be affected right? they will still run fine
