Stupid question, but I can't find the packager on my machine and I need to deploy an application I've finished.

Anyone remind me where this option is please?

Thanks

Create a Setup and Deployment project, this is the packager for .NET.

Also, remember that you *could* copy-n-paste the .EXE and the DLLs, because .NET doesn't register DLLs with the Windows Registry. The copy-n-paste method would only really be viable for an in-house program. Otherwise, you need the installer like AtmaWeapons says. I can't find the link, but I once followed a turorial and had a Windows Installer app ready in 5 minutes.

Here is one link that may help you out:
