    VB.Net application on Client machine?

    I wrote a simple little VB.Net application that loads an XML document, allows the user to modify the information, and then saves the changes. When I sent the .exe file to my client, he was unable to run it because he was missing the .Net Framework .dll files. How can I create a self contained .exe file that I can distribute to users who do not have the .Net framework? Any help would be appreciated.

    In short you can't. You have to have them download it via Windows Update or you can use the redistributable and make a setup project for your app that installs it if its needed.

    I think if one more person askes this question Cander is going to bald from pulling all his hair out.

    What makes it even funnier is that this question always comes up in VB6 too.

    Yeah, sorry about the repeat question. After actually taking the time to read the message board a bit (what a novel concept, I know) I found the same basic question asked a million times. Once again, sorry for the repost, but thanks for the answer.
