Publish/Run Visual 2008

Hi -

I'm very new to Visual Studio and have a question that may be very basic. I apologize if this question is not in the right place but I really do need to understand this better; so any help is greatly appreciated.


I am able to publish the application to a server location. However, I'm unable to execute the application (on the server) at my own PC without publishing to execute via start menu. Is there a way to run the application from the server location and bypass any install on local PC's?

Thanks!:o
