VB.Net winforms deployment

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am trying to deploy a VB.Net 2003 winforms application.

Can I just send the exe file from the projects bin directory to the users to be able to use the application, or should I create a set up & deployment package for the same?

Please advise.

Thanks.

I placed the .exe file on the "Test Server" & placed shortcuts to it on the Users desktop but it gives an error message like this:

"Request for the permission of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version =1.0.5000.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed."

Please advise how can this be corrected. I will try creating an installer like Solar_Flare suggested.

will keep you updated, meanwhile please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks.

Maybe the target machine required any associated DLL of your exe(Project) to be resgistered in the registry. i should suggest that you should make a deployment package and customize easily your required installer.
