Runtime Exes

After I compile the application i can run it from my desktop and other develop desktops just by using the exe without installing the application.

One of the developers is now workstation in a diferent department and tries to run the exe, he gets this error.

to run this application, you first must install on of the following versions of the .NET Framework:

v2.0.5727

contact you applicaion publisher for obtaining the appropriate version of the .Net Framework.

I am assume this because VS2005 isn't installed on the machine he is using that is why he is having the problem, I also gues it is because i haven't run a install program either. My question is in order to just run the exe on non-development machines do i have to create an install package?

You can create an installer package or use one click deployment. It's the publish option on the build menu. I use this for in-house deployment by publishing to a shared network folder.

the click once application type will allow multiple users?

It installs locally and needs to be installed for each user. This is not an issue in our usage.
