Question Creating .exe files

I have an application written in Access VBA that I may want to re-write into VB.

Does anyone know if it is possible for VS 2010 to publish an application as an .exe file rather than an .application file? I want to avoid requiring users to preform an install, which they may not have permissions to do. I would rather them be able to just open the application from an intranet.

Hi

The solution you are expecting is Visual Basic 6.0 exe file where copying the Exe file does the trick (here too you need to provide a setup if the client machines doen't have some components)

In .NET applications the similar way to achieve is to copy the files publishd in Release folder to the client machine. If the client machine has the .NET framework it should work

Cheers
Shasur
