I just wrote a Windows Form C# program for my mom for Mother's Day. It has been build in Release mode. How do I put the program on cd so she can run it on her computer?

  • Are you having trouble locating the `exe` file or are you worried about the .NET dependencies? – Theodoros Chatzigiannakis May 12 '13 at 10:46

    Just the Copy the Release Folder into CD, Make SUre The Other machine Should have .NET Framework Version same the .Net Version of the APP. – Akshay Joy May 12 '13 at 10:51
  • I'm worried about the .Net dependencies. But was also curious of exactly what files I put on the cd. Do I just put the .exe file or other files from the project folder. Furthermore, do I just copy the folder on to the cd or do I have to burn it? Also, what if she doesn't have .Net on her machine? Is there away around executing the program? – J.S.

    Unless you've explicitly referenced other assemblies, then only the `exe` will be required for a simple WinForms application. There is no way to run it without the .NET Framework installed, though. – Theodoros Chatzigiannakis May 12 '13 at 11:00
  • Thank you for the help. This is the first program I wrote without any direction :) I've never had to put on cd before. – J.S. Orris May 12 '13 at 11:01

Copy the .exe file present in the Release Folder of your project and make sure .Net is installed on target machine.

    .Net2 will almost surely be installed. Does [ClickOnce](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb756885.aspx) check and install all later .Nets on demand? – quetzalcoatl May 12 '13 at 10:50
