Developing Stand Alone Apps in VB

Does anybody know if it is possible to develop stand alone vb2005 apps that
require no install and could be run from a flash drive or cd? If so I am
trying to figure it out.

thanx in advance.

Every .NET-based application requires the .NET Framework to be present on
the client machine. If this is the case, it's possible to use XCOPY
deployment to install the application or run it from the flash drive or CD.
However, note that this won't work if the application needs components which
have to be installed on the machine.

David,

It is forever what you find that is the OP.

For me it is the standard Windows package including the SP's from which NET
is one of those if it is not delivered as a standard feature.

For some the OS is only the DOS part of the Windows package.

If you want a computer with WIFI, than mostly there is written that it has
to be XP + SP2

It basically depends on what is in your application and what it does. As
Herfried said, you have to have the .Net Framework installed on the
computer. If your program doesn't require anything else to be installed,
then you can run it from the flash drive. Otherwise you would have to
install the other component(s) you need.

There are products that can create a "self contained" executable so that the
..Net framework is not required to be installed. See www.remotesoft.com for
one example. C++ is generally the choice for this requirement.

Cor,

het lijkt wel of de laatste tijd je posts steeds krommer engels
vertonen. Ik kan er vaak geen touw aan vast knopen. Hij wil een
applicatie draaien vanaf een USB stick, wat heeft dat met WIFI te maken?

Rinze,

When I was reading the message the next day, I had the same idea as you.

:-)

However what makes this message direct unreadable is this and than the rest
becomes not to understand.
>>

It is a complete typo, it had to be.

It is forever dependable what you find that is the OS (operating system).

For me that is the standard Windows package including the service packs. In
my opinion is .Net a Service Pack. That even only if it is not standard
delivered with the OS, than it is just include.

Some people don't agree this with me, they find only the DOS part of the
Microsoft Windows Package the OS.

However to give a good example, if you want a computer with WIFI, than you
need for most hardware of that Windows XP including SP2.

I hope this is better readable. Somebody gave me in past the advice not to
correct those to quick made messages, in what I see I forget more and more
to type words. (This is also very quick made by the way, I had to go out
already 5 minutes ago)
