How to create a packaged executable

[Scott Capistrant]

I am relatively new to the VB.net platform. How would I
create a packaged exe that can run outside of my computer
(i.e. load the needed dll's and such). Thanks.

You can add a setup project to your solution. In VS.NET, just right-click on
the Solution node in the Solution Explorer. Then choose "Setup Project" in
the Setup and Deployment Projects. If you want to deploy the .NET Framework
with your project, take a look at the .NET Bootstrapper plugin:

You prettymuch only need the Microsoft .NET Framework to
run your VB.NET applications.

You can find it here

Create a setup project for the application (VS.NET includes a Setup
Wizard, the Standard Edition of VB.NET includes a project template for
setups only). In the setup, you can include the .NET Framework, which
is required for the execution of the application on the target machine:
