Distributing C# Apps

I've been reading that in order for people to use my application written
in C#, the enduser will need to have a copy of the .NET framework on
their computer. Is this true? If so, how can I distribute my program to
anyone who wants to use it w/o requiring them to download a ton of stuff
from Microsoft?

Thanks!

I've learned enough of the Python language to be mildly dangerous and have used it in a few personal projects. All my development of commercial (or production) products over the past dozen years have been done with C++ or Java. For a program I'm planning -- to begin during the summer -- having an interpreter as part of the application would be very desirable to allow sophisticated users to provide their own extensions. Java would be...

It happens much too often that I have to tell a client how to fix up missing references when I send them an application, especially if the client is distributing it to different users. It makes me look unprofessional (which I guess I am to some extent). I've tried the fixuprefs() function I got from the knowledge base (that uses the qryTestRefs and checks for error 3075), but it doesn't seem to get called, and I still get the problem. I'm...

I wonder if someone can help me please. I have developed apps for small business on a bespoke basis for a long time. I have usually gone along to the client to install the apps. My client base was such that they usually had Access pre-installed on their machines before I arrived. Over the last year I discovered a hole in a niche market and developed an off-the shelf app that cutomers can buy.

hi all, i'm wondering if there are any best practices for distributing apps which require the .net framework to run. i've read about using the .net bootstrapper which will install the .net framework as a step in the regular apps' installation if the user doesn't have the framework. however, when i include the dotnetfx redistributable the size of the download is about 23mb as opposed to 300k for my app.

Hi list, Is there a preferred way to distribute programs that depends on third party modules like PyQt, Beautifulsoup etc? I have used setuptools and just having the setup script check for the existence of the required modules. If they're not found I have it exit with a message that it need this or that installed. But this is not very convenient for the end user and I have got a few complaints about it. Am I missing something in...

Hi, I'm creating a set of command-line tools using Python. These tools manage resources for a game I'm working on. However, many people that will be using these tools will not want to install Python on their machines. This would be a very tedious process (for first time users of my tools). Ideally, I would like for someone to be able to use my tools without having to install Python. For example, if I could put python.exe in a

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
