The express version have two methods of deploying a program. One involves just copying files from the source machine onto th etarget machine. The other is called Click Once deployment and allows you to publish files for either web, cd or network deployment.

In order for your programs to work the target machines must have the dot.net framework installed before you try to install and run your programs.

If the target machines do not have the dot net framework installed then the target machines must either have access to an internet connection or you must provide a copy of the dot net install files on a CD.

If you want to simply copy files then you must build your projetc which will create the exe file and you can then transfer /copy the exe onto a target machine.

I preferr to use the One Click method which publishes your project for deployment.

You must first configure your projects properties

Click Project %26gt;%26gt;Properties

Go through all the tabs to become familiar with the features acvailable to you as there are fields which you should fill out like project name and description etc...
