How do I set up a new computer to run an executable I have built with Microsoft Visual Studio?
It has been a pain. First we found out that .Net had to be installed. Now I have learned that it is expecting to have all the namespace DLLs on the system.
There has got to be a better way of compiling all that is required into one package or executable for distribution.
 
There's an option in Visual Studio for including dependencies. I think if you right-click your project, the choice is there. If not, look through the build/publish options. I know I set my projects to build all the dependencies, I'm sorry I don't remember off the top of my head where the setting is, but it wasn't hard to find.
