Deploying an application to a tablet.
I'm new to programming so please bear with me. I'm using VB 2012 on my laptop (running Windows 8.1). I wrote a simple Hello Program to test it on my tablet.
My goal is to write a golf program for our golf club. The tablet is an HP Stream 8 running Windows 8.1. I used the VB "publish tool", it created two icons on my laptop.
One is a Setup.exe file and the other looks like a application icon. They both work on my laptop. I tried to use email to get it to my tablet. After unzipping it, I tried to
install from the "setup" icon as well as the app icon. Both caused an error window, that says "Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files.
Contact application vendor". My question is: 1. What did I do wrong? 2. Does my tablet need .NET Framework on it? 3. Can I transfer the app to my tablet by USB cable?
4. Can anyone help?
Thank You.

Re: Deploying an application to a tablet.
1. It's hard to say exactly but it sounds like you didn't transfer all the published files.
2. Yes, but it should already have it installed. VS 2012 will target .NET 4.0 by default and Windows 8 has .NET 4.0 installed by default. If you target an earlier version then you'll need to make sure that .NET 3.5 is also installed, which you do via Programs & Features. Note that .NET 3.5 includes .NET 3.0 and 2.0.
3. Transfer it from what? The application is files so you can transfer those files to your tablet the same way that you would transfer any other files.
4. Yes.
When you publish a project, you are creating a ClickOnce installer. If you're going to use ClickOnce deployment then you should probably read a bit about it and gain at least a basic understanding of how it works.
