Let me try to clarify the things

what .net framework version required to install for working this application on another computers
so that what i install ?

A. Atleast the minimum .Net Framework needs to be installed on the client machine to work all the features efficiently that you had used in your application. However, having the latest version installed on the target machine will be a greater advantages. Just install the .Net Framework 4.6.2 (the latest version) no matter whether you had used lower version to build your application. As you only have to take care of x86/x64 bit architectures while installing targetting the system.

if i need my application support both 32 bit and 64 bit
A. By default, the settings on visual studio has been made to work for both 32/64 bit machines. Settings can be changed by Goto Project -> Properties -> Build -> PlatformTarget -> (Any CPU/x86/x64

Furthermore, you can download the .Net Framework 4.6.2 from the given link that supports installation on both 32/64 bit machines regardless of seperate ones

Hope, I made my statement clear :)

Hi Ahmed,

You have to make your application exe for 32 bit and 64 bit.. I think no chance to make the single exe for both operating system. May be I am wrong.

But I never seen that type of exe files, wherever you go and download the exe in internet , you can see the files for both 32 bit and 64 bit..

HI Ahmed,

Check your application which version you have developed this one,

To check that -> select solution explorer -> properties -> Application -> Which version mentioned in that. If it version 4.5 , you have to install version 4.5 on your installed machine, same the time confirm the application you have deployed for 32 bti or 64 bit
