I'm forced to install Visual Studio or not?

Israel

Hi,

I have a question that never have answer.

Every time when I need to install a system conceived on C# to another computer I should first install all the Visual Studio (I'm still using VS 2015).

Curiously if I dont do that when I run my system. They are two errors messages I am expecting:

1) Not way to get (or to use) your system because SQL Server was not installed (I'm using the integrated SQL Server).

2) Not way to use reports.

Then there is another way to install your program without installing Visual Studio. Because its taking me around 15 or 20 minutes depending the speed (or powerfulness) of the computer.

Thank you,

Israel.

Install it according to your 32/64 bit architecture https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/confirmation.aspx?id=29062&6B49FDFB-8E5B-4B07-BC31-15695C5A2143=1

If you are doing stuffs with database, the runtime driver and dependencies must be installed on the target machine. NO, there is no need to install ssms or visual studio (customer don't do programming :), you can install sqlexpress on the target machine to run smoothly.

Concerning me any program that I finish to conceive in c#. When I install it on another computer. Running my executable file its always displaying errors messages showing me that its missing sql server and cant execute reports (conceived in reportviewer).
Curiously when I install later Visual Studio everything its running perfectly. Then I would like to know if there is another way to make it possible without installing Visual Studio?

Your question is not clear, can you ask the question clearly what you have tried and what you are expecting from us.
