No, you should not copy the wsdl to the client and run it.
In your original post you said you are using wsdl to make the proxy-file to
include in the client app. I suppose this means you are using wsdl.exe
on a wsdl file. Once you generate the proxy from this step, you need to
compile it. The output of that is a DLL. This is one of the pieces that
needs to be installed on the client. The DLL, not the wsdl, nor wsdl.exe.
There are 2 stages we are discussing here:
design and compilation - in which you need wsdl.exe, csc.exe, nmake.exe,
and so on. You need the sdk for this stage. The SDK also requires the
redistributable!
running the app - in this stage you need the "redistributable", which is
the runtime piece. You don't need the SDK.
