.Net packaging/wrapper application?
am 27.12.2007 11:28:39 von JimI am looking for an application that will wrap my .Net application (and any
needed .Net parts) into a single exe.
I know of Thinstall ($4,000 for application and per copy fees for your exes)
and of Xenocode (~$1,500 plus ~ $12 per copy of your exe). But, I'd like
something that is actually affordable for a hobbyist programmer.
This capability (Thinstall's being able to wrap a .Net app and ship it as a
single exe) would be a FANTASTIC addition to the .Net application suite. It
would simplify the shipping & installation and not even require the end user
to have .Net installed or to install the application. It also avoids DLL
and .Net Version Hell.
If Microsoft was going to buy something, one of these technologies should be
it.
If you know of anything like Thinstall or Xenocode that does not require per
copy fees, I'd really appreciate a pointer to it.
Thanks!
