vb.net publishing as .exe file only

I want to simply publish my programm as .exe. I don't want to have that Application Folder, inf File and manifest, which are created by Visual Studio 2010. Later on it can be downloaded over an FTP.

How to do so? I've also looked at these publish on webhost functionality of VS, but that would create a publish.htm. And that's not what I want.

you have a folder named release in your project the .exe file is what you want

if it's empty then in your VS toolbar next to the ( play , pause , stop ) buttons there is a combo box choose release and click on the play button then the .exe file should be generated

if you referenced any .dll files then they should be copied as so with the .exe file to make it work

you may add dll's as resource files in your .exe as binary text then when the program run's add code to put them in files in .exe same path and when the program end's add delete code
