You can distribute it, however what is your version.
If it is the express version you have click once. With a full version you
have a Setup project to do distribute it in a more elegant way.

Ah, thank you, it is Express Edition. I did finally find the
publishing wizard etc., but it will let me publish in one of only
three ways, a web/ftp site, a UNC file path or a CD. I really need to
be able to email an executable or a zip file to my client - is that
possible with Express?
Or is there a way to use one of these three methods and then package
the required files in a zip file so that the client can unzip it
locally and install it? My project will require almost daily updates
for a while and this would be easiest with an email.
Publish it to a file path (doesn't have to be UNC), then zip up the contents
of the directory and send it.
It would actually be easiest with a webserver. One of the strengths of
ClickOnce is that it provides incremental update support. So you export to,
say, a web server, and your user installs it from there. Then you update it,
push it again to the same web server. When your user runs it, it
automatically picks up the update.
You can do the same with an FTP site or a UNC network path.
Or you can deploy to a folder on your drive and keep sending it to him over
and over again.
