How to deploy console application - what files are necessary?

I've created a .NET console application, but now I'm not sure how to
deploy it. What files do I need to send to the user who wants to
install it on their machine? This app was built using VS2005 and .NET
2.0. Here's a list of files that are in the bin folder:
- Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
- Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.xml
- Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll
- Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.xml
- Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll
- MyApp.application
- MyApp.exe
- MyApp.exe.config
- MyApp.exe.manifest
- MyApp.pdb
- MyApp.vshost.application
- MyApp.vshost.exe
- MyApp.vshost.exe.config
- MyApp.vshost.exe.manifest
- MyApp.xml

I've read elsewhere that all I need to deploy is the exe (MyApp.exe).
However I also want to send the config file so that the user can make
configuration changes. Beyond MyApp.exe and MyApp.exe.config what
should I deploy on the target machine?

Thanks,
Corey
