The exact requirements will depend on what version of VB, but generally speaking you will need to create a package which can be installed on the other computers. It depends, though. If you don't use anything out of the ordinary (esoteric ActiveX controls, for example) and the other computer already has the VB runtime, you might be able to just copy and run.

the other computers might not have VB. i want it to be like a setup file.

Then you probably need to use the Package and Deployment Wizard. At least that's what they call it in VB6 - don't know about the .Net version.

Hm... you might need to consider reinstalling VB.
