I would suggest adding a Setup and Deployment project to your solution and
generate an installation vs. trying to copy things around manually. (If you
are using Visual Studio for development) Yes, .NET supports xcopy
deployment, but first you need to ensure you have everything you need and
creating a setup program will help you discover that.

Thanks,

Sam
