❔ Exporting .exe!

Hey! I created a simple console based little thing for me and my friends. Whenever I try to publish it I get a bunch of dlls and stuff and the .exe doesn't work by itself. Is there a way to make it work completely alone? So I can send my friends the .exe?

dotnet publish -c Release -r <runtime identifier> -p:PublishSingleFile=true Use of -r|--runtime implies --self-contained true. Add --self-contained false to publish as runtime-dependent. -r RID and -p:PublishSingleFile=true can be moved to .csproj as the following properties:
<RuntimeIdentifier>RID</RuntimeIdentifier>
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
<RuntimeIdentifier>RID</RuntimeIdentifier>
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
but to target multiple RIDs, you have to use dotnet publish with the -r option for each RID. You can also add -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true to include native libraries (like Common Language Runtime dlls) in the output executable. You might want to instead publish your application compiled Ahead Of Time to native code, see $nativeaot for examples. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-publish
