QuestionSelf contained app development... Pin
Sam Marrocco6-Apr-06 4:51
Sam Marrocco6-Apr-06 4:51 
I use vb.net for in-house development of apps. Many of these apps are small in size, with few if any referenced dlls. I'd like my apps to be *totally* self-contained--that is, I want to be able to drag and drop the contents of the app's directory onto a new machine and have it run *with no installation procedures*.

In the past (vb.net 2003) this seemed relatively reliable, assuming that the dotnet framework was in place and that any referenced dlls or third-party components had their CopyLocal property set to TRUE. Since switching to vb.net 2006, this does not always seem to be the case. Apps that I have ported from 2003 to 2006, fail to run with errors like "The app encountered a problem....blah blah send a report to microsoft".

This does *not* mean that I require an app to be a single exe file--only that *everything* required for the app is contained within a single folder that can be moved from machine to machine.

Is there a 100% accurate manner of making an app totally self-contained in that it will run on a machine with the (proper) dotnet framework installed? If not, is there a manner in which a more accurate error report can be generated on a (non-developer) machine with a bit more useful information--such as exactly what is missing?
