You can easily create a WinForms app using a template in Visual Studio. The template includes a fully functional WinForms app that creates a window with no content. However, you can easily style the window with a designer. To get the .exe file from the app you just need to create the app and look in the folder <YouProjectFolder>/bin/debug, there you can find the exe file and to run the app you just need double click on the file. However, .NET must be installed on all PCs on which you want to run the app. An alternative is to build the app in .NET Framework since .NET Framework is installed by default on Windows and .NET is not.
