Simple Windows application packaged into a single exe-file without installation?
I would like to create a simple Windows application
1) with all its components (simple form and a simple code) packaged into a single exe file.
2) I would like to be able to just copy this exe file onto another machine without running a special installation program (and without a special installation of a .NET framework).
3) I would like to avoid the creation of a registry record.
Is it doable with VB6 or VB.NET (I already have a similar ASP code)?
Target machines are Windows XP.
It would be nice also to be able to run this application on Windows 2000.

No, it is not doable as you have stated it in your question, as far as I know. VB6 needs its runtime, and VB.NET needs the .NET framwork to be installed.

Create your simple WinApp
Build it
Grab the .exe file in Myproject\Obj\Release and move it to the target computer. Execute it!
Only condition: you need the correct DotNet Framework installed on the target machine. Jack.net
