I am using VB 2005 and have made an application. I published it and chose to allow users to download the "components from the manufacturers" however everytime I try to install it on another computer, it says the website is not found. How can I simply make my application run as simply for the user as possible (i understand the app needs other server files to run, but I want them to just install simply without effort for the person installing. Thanks for any help.

The target computer must have the dot net framework installed. If you choose to have this program installed as a prerequisite then the target computer must have an internet connection. If you are installing a published project from a CD this may be a problem. You can try publishing for web deployment and installing from a web site which ensures that there is an internet connection
If you are using the Express version then your options are limited as you cannot create a setup project. Setup projects which would allow you to include and install prerequisites in a scripted fashion are not included in the free express version.
You can always down load the redistributable packages from MS and include them on your CD. These of course would require manual installation by the user

I believe you are attempting to compile the application. Is that correct?
