Okies, so I'm finally making a program in VS 2019 that I actually intend for others to use! (Not a lot of others, but still...) It's a simple Windows form, no internet access, no good databases, and poorly written 'cause I'm a totally suck coder (it's the reason I'm using Visual Basic instead of something better). Great. Write the code, all is hunky-dory, and go into where the project is, head for the Release folder, pull out the .exe file, place in another directory... and nothing. ... Um? O-kay... maybe this one needs the .dll in that Release folder? I do that and it tells me I need to install .Net 5.0. What the...? Okay... Um. So I look up .Net 5.0, download, install (wow, that was quick), and... same error message. ... Right! Alright, so I look up how to change the target framework. Maybe if I go to a lower version. My options seem to be .Net 5.0, .Net 3.0, and .Net 3.1. So I try 3.1. ... Now the thing is telling me my MsgBox calls are errors because "MsgBox is not declared"... What!?
So... um... any ideas how I fix this? I mean... this is an utterly trivial program! It shouldn't even need .dlls or anything else! It reads a text file, does texty things, a bit of random selection, uses text boxes, combo boxes, save file dialog, list view, and labels and that's literally it... so why is this so complicated!?
