I am a long time VB 6 developer and am using VB.NET 2005 Express. I have
written a small app that I want to deploy to another machine. I can't find
any documentation that relates to the express version about how to do this.
There isn't a deployment wizard or a publishing wizard that I can find.
Help!

AFAIK, there is no deployment support integrated in the Express editions.
Express editions are not dedicated to professional developers, so
theoretically there is no big need for deployment projects in these
editions.
 
Herfried,

An unexpected good answer (more than a coding problem) from you.

Compliments

Presumably I need to get the VS.NET 2005 beta to do this then.

From what I know the Standard edition will include Setup templates, but no
wizard. Professional edition (and "better") will include a Setup wizard
too.
 
I have solved it. It was a very simple application with only one external
dll reference. I created an application directory and installed the .exe and
the dll to it. Then I installed the .NET framework v2 beta after which the
application ran as intended. A great relief and a nice surprise. I'm getting
to like this dotnet thang.
