Visual Studio 2005 problem

[kpmwrestler]

I can't compile my visual basic file as an exe. Yes it is the full version. It is visual studio 2005 Professional edition. I can make a windows application but I don't know how to save as an exe!!!

well, all i need to know is where the compiler is in visual studio. A LOT has changed from the old visual basic. You used to just be able to click file-make exe file. what happened to that?

alright, now that I got the exe compiled, I have a new problem. If I run the program on any other computer than the one I made it on, it won't run. it has an error initializing.

To generate the exe file, just go to the build menu and Re-build solution, if i remember correctly

the reason why it may not work (the exe) on another computer is because you haven't installed .NET framework on that computer.

look for .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 in google, its easy to find, you might need both of them - I am not sure how you wrote your program, but generally you'll need both

oh, thanks. but the same problem happens with vb4.0 which doesn't have .net.
