dotnet academic: What is required now to distribute an application

I can provide item number one - One - the dotnet Framework
I can provide item number two - Two - the assembled object from the build

What else is required? Does anyone know? Has anyone ever attempted to distribute a project after they build it? If so, what did you do that is different from above? Do I have a virus that prevents me from distributing? Is the dotNet Academic version hobbled?

Please - what STEP did I miss here

Read Ed's link.
In Solution Explorer, right-click on the solution (not the project).
Select Add...->New Project->Setup and Deployment Projects
then choose the type you need.

Thanks... that was it.

The wizard places a NEW set of distributables out there.
wshom.dll (5.6.0.6626),
COMCTL32.ocx (6.0.81.5),
scrrun.dll (5.6.0.6626) as well as a newer
stdole (7.0.9466.0))
AND there is yet another laye
AxInterop.ComCtl.dll (1.3.0.0
Interop.Comctl.dll (1.3.0.0
Interop.Iwshruntimelibrary.dll (1.0.0.0
interop.scripting.dll (1.0.0.0
Microsoft VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll (7.10.3077.0

I wasn't counting on redistributing the entire project. Can I eliminate, at the very least, the VisualBasic Compatibility Library by re-writing some of the calls or am I forced to distribute this one if I choose to write in VB

Also, I am apparently misunderstanding something here. Why I am distributing both older AND newer versions of the scripting runtime and the common controls. I suspect this is a coding problem on my end. I have to admit that I didn't finish reading everything that Ed recommended. Is my answer buried in there
