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.SqlC lientPermi ssion, System.Data, Version =1.0.5000.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c56193 4e089 failed."
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.
