[02/03] how to publish???
hello
Does any one know how to install(not sure if that is the right word) a .NET applacation.
I have to put the applacation on a cd and have it install on another persons computer. (i also have an access data base which needs to be at a specific location)
Any help would be great
Thanks

You will firstly need to make sure the other person has .Net Framework 2.0 installed. Then you could run your application there

Create a new Setup and Deployment Project. Add your project's compiled EXE file to the project so it'll add all of the required Interops and so on.
Then, create the folder paths you need for the database, and add that file to the project, too. Build it, and you're done - you'll find the Setup.MSI and Setup.EXE files in the project's debug folder. Put those on the CD.
