You can take a look of our new tool, Salamander .NET Linker and
Mini-Deployment Tool, it links mutilple assemblies together, and figures out
all dependencies, then puts a minimum set of CLR files for distribution. You
can simply copy the resulting folder to any machines w/o framework
installation. Typically a windows forms app will result in about 5MB zip
file. You can unzip the files onto a CD, and your app runs fine on any
machines that .NET supports (namely win98, NT, W2K, XP)

(next step is to natively compile everything into a single EXE, coming soon)

I'm trying to make an executable that contains as few files as possible.
What would I need to do that?
The client really wants one file (the EXE file) that contains
everything -so they can move that file from one PC to another very easilty- but I don't
know if that's really possible.
I tried copying the whole dir (and run the exes in debug or release dirs)
but it didn't work out.
My goal is to be able to run the app in another computer. How would I do
that?
Thank you.
