how to run exe file

[hstan007]

Hi guys,

How do i run VB.net in a pc that does not have VB.NET program?

How do i look for the runtime (?) or specific dll files?

You cannot.

.Net code, with the exception of unmanaged C++, needs the .NET framework.

[Mr.Orange]

I would recommend looking into the following:

1) Making a Setup and Deployment Project using Visual Studio .Net

2) Distributing the .Net framework (dotnetfx.exe) with your application.

Hope this helps.

Salamander has a mini-deploy program. I'm not sure if it's out of beta yet, but I used to be a beta tester and, basically, it re-links all of your program files to a DLL created by their program which, in turn, links to specific .NET DLLs. Thus, requiring the user of your program to not even have the .NET framework installed, but can run the application since it's like a miniture .NET framework with your program.

Worked quite well last time I used it in the Beta, which was months ago.

You said it was on a CD, right? You could simply use auto-run and let it run the .NET framework installer first, then your program installer. You could also do like Adobe does and create a stand alone exe of a flash file that has buttons to each item so the user can install it.

If you wanted to be creative, you could use C++ to make your own installer (frankly, I can't stand installers and wish people didn't use them with their programs, but that's another arguement for another thread).

What do you mean? You can read files off of the CD..... that is how your program on the CD gets executed.
