Hello,
So I have some questions about publishing a console project in VS 2015.

Does everyone who runs my application need to have anything like .Net Framework installed?

Whats the best way to publish it if I want to upload it to somehwere like mediafire?

And finally please also explain how to publish it because I can only find tutorials and how to's to the VS 2010 version.

Thank you very much!

What I have tried:

Doing it the same way as in MS VS 2010 IDE.

Yes. C# will not run without the appropriate .NET framework installed. However, any "proper" installer will automatically download and install that on computers that do not have it, and various version of Windows include various versions of .NET with the OS.

Use an installer - this may help: How to: Publish a ClickOnce Application using the Publish Wizard[^]
