Upload it to a site like MediaFire and then post a topic in a forum somewhere, or a vid on youtube, that should get you some views.

So i wont have to publish it using the FTP server so i can normally publish it because i heard problems if you normally publish it on to your desktop i then upload on to mediafire or something like that and then go onto a different computer and try and download it it says "this program is allready on another computer" or is this just is this true?

Help Plz

Don't click publish, just follow these steps:

1. Click build all,

2. Go to your folder where the program that you are making is saved.

3. Go into the bin folder

4. Go into the Debug folder

5. Then just copy the .exe file and any other files that it uses out of there. (The only other files you should need to copy are dlls and any extra folders that it uses, however if you didnt add

anything extra other than coding, you only need to copy the .exe file.)

6. Download WinRAR from here, if you don't already have it.

7. Run the WinRaR installation.

8. Find the exe file and highlight it, also highlight any of the other files the program needs to run.

9. Right click the files and select Add to Archive... from the menu.

You should never release the debug version of a program. Not only will it be very easy to hack/decompile because of the extra debug info, but debug versions are larger, they are usually unoptimized, and they may even require the user to have VS installed.

Copy from the Release folder instead. If you have a Debug/Release dropdown in your version (some don't for some reason), make sure to switch it to Release before building.

Yeh, sorry I meant to say Release not Debug. I have been debugging too many times today lol.
