Introduction

• Suppose you have created your software on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and now you want to use that software on any other computer.
• So to do this, there's no need to copy whole code and create project in the second computer.
• Instead just make executable (.exe) file of that software and install it on other computer.
• This is mostly used for commercial purposes.

 Now follow these simple steps carefully.

Steps To Follow

• Complete your software and test it to confirm that its ready to use.
• Now click on the Project and at the bottom Properties, CNC Gcode is actually the name of my software as shown in image below :

•   After clicking on properties a new tab will open as shown in image below :

•  These are actually the properties of our software, like you can change the icon and can also do many other things.
• Right now we are not changing anything but if you want you can play with its properties.
• Now click on the Publish button at the bottom and the below screen will appear.

• Now click on the Publish Now button and it will create the .exe file of your software.
• You can change the location of the file where it is gonna store in the properties.
