I have written a program which I want to run on another PC that doesn't have
C# installed. What files do I have to move to that PC for my program to run?
 
Hi Jerry,
in order for your program to run on the other computer you will have to
install the .Net CLR which is used to run .Net programs (it will run any
program written in a .Net language such as C#, VB.Net etc), you can get this
from:

Depending on how you have structured your program, it is normally as easy
as Xcopying your program files (the ones which are inside the bin directory)
to the target computer.

Alternatively if you want a more polished install you can create an MSI
file, I have only ever used Wise ( a 3rd party tool) to do this. If you have
Visual Studio it is easy to make one as well, by creating a new steup and
deployment project (there is a wizard option) which will create an MSI for
you.

Hope that helps
Mark.
