Default Urgent! How to make vb application to .exe?

Hi

I am currently using vb.net 2003 and would like to know what are the steps to create a executional application(.exe) for my vb application.
-my vb application includes the use of ms access and contains many forms.

To add on, i would also like to know whether a pc without .net Framework can view the exe file? or is there any way that a pc without vb.net able to view my vb application?

i heard that vb.net allow us to make our application to installer files...or something like that?

VB.NET programs will only work on a machine with the .Net Framework installed. You can package dlls with the exe using packaging software. How to do so depends on your software. There are many softwares. .Net has its own which I believe uses MSI. You could use MSI, InstallShield, etc.
