How do I deploy App without the need of installation?

How do I deploy a application so that the user can immediately use it and not need to install it on their pc?

EDIT: I code in VB.NET

The answer will vary depending on what you're programming in and what the program does. Some kinds of applications can't be run without installation by their nature or for technical reasons.

Hello dilettant,

I code in VB.NET, and seen a VB.NET application run without a installation before.

Well I don't know if this is the proper way to do it, but it seems for VB.NET projects you can go to the Debug folder and just copy the application as is if you don't want the application to have a installation wizard. If this is wrong or not proper please someone correct me.

Release folder... I wouldn't distribute the debug files.

If the user already has .NET installed, then you can simply copy & paste the files. Hopwever, that could be argued that is an installation as well...

What's wrong with creating an actual installation package?
