I'm fairly new to distributing .NET applications, and so far no one is able
to use the apps I create. They do run on all 3 of my machines. I include the
dotnetfxredist with the setup files. One person cannot even install the
framework from Windows Update. It's giving them errors and I'm unable to
troubleshoot over the phone. This pretty much blows since I've spent so much
time developing in .NET for my user base and they cannot use it! Is there a
way to convert my app to Windows executable or something? What are my
options?

It may not be this simple, but have the person who can't run Windows Update
check the date and time on there computer. Windows update will not run if
it's not correct.

Date and time is correct, and my client base have very powerful computers,
because they are all gamers.

But see, I don't have the resources to help troubleshoot people's .Net
installation. I'm a little bit stunned to find out so many people have
trouble running .Net apps. I know it's not installed by default, but still I
thought it would be easy enough for people to get. I chose .Net to save
development time, and it looks like that was a big mistake.

Are any of you guys finding the same problem? Is all my work just throw away
or can I encap the framework into a Windows exe or something?

Hi,

You might try this out : http://www.remotesoft.com/linker/

It's strange that you have so much trouble with deploying your application.
I've deployed my .NET application to about 100 systems and have had no
problems.
