Even OS (Operating System)?

yes sir on even OS

(Sigh...)

Maciej's question means: "what, your friend does not even have OS"? But you later said that there is the OS. By the way, without the version of Windows we cannot tell you which version of .NET you can use, but you can read about it yourself.

All right... I think it's time for you to accept my answer formally (green "Accept") button. If it's not clear to you, please ask your follow-up questions.

"Windows desktop which has no software" it a complete oxymoron.

As you can see, I answered.

Who, who told you that Visual Studio is needed to run any applications?! For your information, it is not needed even to build you .NET projects. .NET framework, freely distributed, comes with C# and VB.NET compilers and MSBuild.EXE. You can even do all the development without Visual Studio (not very convenient, of course; there are open-source alternatives).

So, what are you even talking about?

If your friend has not software, your EXE won't help. But anyone having the copy of Windows can install any any compatible version of .NET free of charge. If your application can run, the EXE file is already created. If you are unaware of that, perform the file search. :-)

If you look at the project properties ("Build" tab in Visual Studio), you will see where the output path is defined. Or look at the project file as XML file, the node is called "OutputPath".

(Sigh…) Know the tools you are using. Everyone is capable of scanning all the menus and options of any reasonable software tool and read its help…
