  If you are using Visual Studio 2005 (Express or any other SKU) then you have an option of publishing your program. To publish your program

  • Open Solution Explorer
  • Select project that you want to Publish
  • Right click on the Project node and click Publish

  This will let you publish your project either on IIS server or on local disk.

  If your solution contains multiple projects then Express SKU doesn't have any option to publish entire solution. Visual Studio Team Suite or Professional or Standard SKUs have an option of creating Setup project to which you can add all your projects in a solution.

  I created setup file using Publish button in J#. However, most of my friends could't install it - fatal error occured when installing .NET Framework.

  Maybe they didn't have SP2

  Is it by design that the Publish doesn't work with non-English text given to it It shows garbage when one provides Greek messages etc. Same happens with the installations that VS.net can create (other option than the Publish menu)
