Generate EXE File from C# Project in Visual Studio 2019

Generate EXE from C# Project in Visual Studio 2019
An EXE file contains an executable program for Windows. EXE is short for "executable," and it is the standard file extension used by Windows programs. For many Windows users, EXE files are synonymous with Windows programs, making ".exe" one of the most recognizable file extensions.
By deploying an application, service, or component, you distribute it for installation on other computers, devices, or servers, or in the cloud. You choose the appropriate method in Visual Studio for the type of deployment that you need. (Many app types support other deployment tools, such as command-line deployment or NuGet, that aren't described here.
You can use the Publish Wizard to set the basic settings for publishing your application. This includes the following publishing properties:
Publishing Folder Location - where Visual Studio will copy the files (local computer, network file share, FTP server, or Web site)
Installation Folder Location - where end users will install from (network file share, FTP server, Web site, CD/DVD)
Online or Offline availability - if end users can access the application with or without a network connection

You're amazing mate. That's something I had been looking for. Very useful.

Can I take only setup file and move to some other location to run my program or do I have to move it with all the other files?

You have very helpful tutorials. I'm now trying to build a huge project on an .exe I wrote, but I simply don´t find the way, I compiled already as Debug, Release, and looked in every single folder for the .exe. I tried also publishing it, but I got this message "The command is not applicable for the selected project." and then the publish option disappears. I’m not sure if there is some extension, I haven´t installed yet. I have already run as admin, and installed "MS VS Installer Projects". I tried on VS2017 is enterprise ed. and on VS2019 is community. My program is written in C++ and C, and also tried with a dummy program (std::cout << "Hello World!\n"). Do you have any clue whats going wrong? Thanks! Chuck.

Two questions: How can I sign the file EXE with a certificate? Can I create a certificate or I must buy it?

Is it possible to debug when the Solution Configuration is set to Release (platform is 32-bit x86)?

Trying to step thru the code when in the Release config, but it goes straight to running the exe, stepping and breakpoints are ignored?!

Why is it that when I click on Publish, I get a completely different menu ? I get a "Publish Wizard" with much less settings as to what you have in the video.

Now I can publish my TicTacToe :))). Thanks!

[thanasisathanasi]

When I click publish the only option I get is a location in a folder. Nothing more. Completely different from what it is presented

[Andimax]

This doesn't work for me. Following your steps and then publishing seems to do absolutely nothing. Despite the terminal stating "Publish Success", the folder is completely empty.
