I'm a hobbyist and have finished a C# program I want to
use on a machine at work that does NOT have visual studio
installed.

I followed the walkthrough for a deployment project, and
all seemed to proceed well. When I went to deploy, I get
a message that the TARGET machine needs the .NET
enviornment installed.

Is that necessary, or did I miss something in doing the
deployment project? If I have to install the .Net
environment, how do I do it? Install all of visual
studio? (ugh)

I built both the application and the deployment project
using the "release" option in the configuration manager.
I'm using VS academic edition, not the latest version.

(When I tried to simply copy the .exe file, I got a quick
program temination saying "the application failed to
initialize", or something similar.)

Thanks.

Oy!

23 mb download over my dial-up. 9 pages of instructions.

Thanks. I'll get to work and report back.
