Standalone VB.Net app?

Hi, all! Trying to build a stand-alone vb.net app (from VS.Net 2k5) that
will let me just take the EXE from the dev box over to a client box and run
it, as-is, without "installing" it. I was under the assumption that this
was still possible, but I seem to get security errors on client boxes when I
just run the EXE on the client machine. Even after tweaking the ClickOnce
settings to specfically allow the type that's giving me the error, I still
get it. The only way to prevent the errors is to do a typical install (run
the setup.exe), which defeats the whole purpose in the first place.

What's the trick? Workstations are all Xp/Pro, latest patches (including
Framework 2.0), running inside a Win2k3 domain (users do NOT have
administrative privilege locally). Help!! :)

Jack
