I developed a VB project using VS 2022 and .NET7. I want to use the resulting executable on another machine, but I don't want to have to install VS on it. Just copying the Release folder across doesn't seem to work and I suspect that it's because .NET7 isn't installed on the target machine. Te OS is Windows 10 on both machines.
Can someone please help me 'deploy' my project?
I posted this same question (with similar wording) a couple of days ago, and it was rejected, but the moderator didn't say why, I cannot see how this violates the forum's guidelines. Maybe mods could let users know why they don't like users' questions. Or is AI taking control?

You can select Publish, then ClickOnce, or Publish, Folder, then ClickOnce.

2023-06-19T09:37:58.1266667+00:00 Thanks @Viorel Now I have to work out exactly what ClickOnce is, as opposed to publishing to a folder! So many choices, so little information...
