Hello,
I have a VB.Net application.The exe file runs well in my system with Visual Studio.Net installed. But when I tried to execute the same in another machine without Visual studio, it reports dependencies. I have a single dependency (Interop.excel.dll) that is present in the \bin folder of my project.
What am I missing here ??
First it reported a missing mscoree.dll, then I copied it to the target, even after this it reports some registry entry is missing. But I thought, copying all the dlls from the bin folder should handle all the dependencies...
Shankar.

Nope. If you read the sticky thread I posted at the top of this forum, you will see that the bare minimum you have to distribute is the framework runtimes (21MB). After that, you need to copy your dependancies (Interop.excel.dll).
