Sachi He is asking about Installable exe. i.e how to create setup file for an application in visual studio 2008 express edition.If you know how to do this.please tell step by step procedure to him.

hey the Microsoft visual C# express edition itself creates the executable file. To see where it resides first debug the program and goto mydocuments\visual studio2008\projects\your project name\your project name\bin\debug. In the debug folder you will find 4 files of which the first one is the executable file.
