I have one form based application, when i run it , in debug folder that exe automatically created. But it didn't work in another system where .net software is not installed. I want that it will run on other system where VS is not installed. Here i have attached my application.

Hi,
You need to create a SetUp file for your application. Please refer the below link

You can also attach the .NET framework while creating the setup just go to the properties -> prequiesties-> add .NET 3.5 and it will be available in the debug folder with the Set Up.

You need to install .NET framework in other system in order to run your application otherwise it will never work. You can include prerequisite while creating the Setup for your application.

Hi Preeti,

You can do it your self, I have written this article for the same very purpose.Just follow the article and u'll be champ of creating installers and uninstallers.
This article also covers your problem of exe not working on non .Net Framework systems.
The exe created in this article takes .Net Framework from the installer location,
