I want to be able to copy my vb projects exe file and put it on other computers and in a different location on my computer but unless the copied exe file is in the same folder as the original it wont run.

Are there settings I need to change or something I need to do to make this possible?

Thanks

Though the Exe file contains the forms, classes and the logic of the program, there is no assurance that it will be executed properly in other machines. The main reason for this will be the additional controls and reference files (dlls) you would have used in that project.

VB 6.0 provides you an easy way of deploying the project. The Package and Development wizard (http://visualbasic.about.com/od/quic...eploy_wiz2.htm) takes care of it

For VB.Net projects you can use (http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/VB.Ne...VB.NET-Part-1/). You can also create a setup project (http://visualbasic.about.com/od/usin...etupProj01.htm)

Best way, according to me is to copy source code and build exe on other computer.
I do it for almost 5 years and i never failed.
Or maybe better way is to publish program and install it on other computer.
