The files are usually written to an install directory, from which you can copy them to cd, memory stick, whatever.

projectname.exe isn't enough to make apps run on other computers because those computers may lack some components needed by the app (vb components for example). The best way is to run the Setup & Deployment Wizard and include those components into the installer.

You will need the runtime files and maybe some other files. Some files are not allowed to be distributes such as the 'Form 2.0.dll'.
