It does not see to make much sense but... Is it only one executable file, do DLLs or something? If you copy 1 exe file along and there is something else of course it should not work.

Is there any dependency of that exe?
If any dependency is there, you should have to put that dependency with it.
Please check for any dependency like DLL, OCX files...
