    He probably doesn’t have the .NET Framework loaded (or is using an earlier version). That’s why you are supposed to package your application with an installation project that will install the Framework your application needs.

    When your project is open, click File-New Project. Select Other Project Types (this is what it was in VS 2005) and then Setup and Deployment. If you want a full setup, you should choose the Setup template. If you’re just giving it to friends, the CAB may be enough. As you go through the wizard, make sure you select the option for packaging the .NET Framework.

    You have to experiment with this a little to see all of the options and how they work, but it’s pretty straight-forward at the basic level.
