Hi guys,
say I need to install my project to another pc (Windows XP user only). No VB.NET 2005 installed on the user's computer nor any other components of .net.
What should I install first in order to run my project on the client's pc?
thank you

Do you mean run your project or run your application? If you mean the project inside the IDE then you should install Visual Studio or VB Express.
If you mean run the finished application then they will need the .NET Framework installed. That will be version 2.0 or later for a VB 2005 application. You will then need to copy the EXE file from your output folder, along with any DLL files that it references from there and also the CONFIG file if there is one. You should compile your project from the Build menu to create a Release build, then go to the bin\Release folder under your project folder to find the output.
You could also use the Publish wizard to create a ClickOnce installer. You can then run the installer on the other machine and it will download and install the Framework first, if it's needed, and then install your app and create a shortcut for it. That's the easiest way.
Ok, you answered my question.
I mean "application", sorry for that. So you are telling me to install the .NET Framework.
Is this the exe file for .net framework:
I downloaded this file.Code:dotnetfx.exe
Yes dotnetfx.exe is .NET framework file. .NET framework should be on the box before you install your application.
Question:
I tried to install the dotNetFx.exe on user's machine, but the End-User Licensed Agreement is passed. The check box for "I accept the terms...." is being skipped and and error message will appear.
What is missing here?
But when I tried to install the dotNetFx.exe in my development machine, the End-User Licensed Agreement is not by-passed.
Please help
thank you.
First up, this is a VB.NET programming forum and issues installing the .NET Framework have nothing to do with VB.NET programming specifically.Quote:

Even if it's something cryptic, at least we know that it's something cryptic and we know where to start.
