I am relatively new to the VB.net platform. How would I
create a packaged exe that can run outside of my computer
(i.e. load the needed dll's and such). Thanks.
Create a setup project for the application (VS.NET includes a Setup
Wizard, the Standard Edition of VB.NET includes a project template for
setups only). In the setup, you can include the .NET Framework, which
is required for the execution of the application on the target machine:
