programs .exe file

[Srig007]

Hi, I am trying to open my program using only the exe file. It opens and runs perfectly on the computers that have visual studio installed on it. How and what do I need to do to get the exe file to load in other non-visual studio computer. I thought that it would be able to load perfectly fine, but it gives me an error saying application failed. Can someone help me with this problem. thanks

You have to have the .NET Framework installed on the target system. It is required for any .NET app to run, and can be freely downloaded.

how can I do this. and where can I download this. is it required for all the computers who is going to be using the program to have the 1.1 framework installed?

2003 uses the 1.1 framework, 2005 uses the 2.0 framework, and yes, it is required in order to run any .NET application. If you just google for ".NET Framework" you should find it pretty easily.
