I suggest creating an installer. That should take care of any framework or libraries you need. There are plenty out there but the VS out-of-the-box one should suffice:

It just create simple setup file which files need to add in this ? I added exe file of my project. but not worked.

The setup file should install the .Net framework, install any required libraries to the GAC and copy the exe on to the machine.

If you want to do it manually then install .Net framework on the machine (available on google) and copy the entire compiled folder of your application.

You can find the compiled folder in your project folder /bin/Debug or /bin/Release depending on how you compiled it.

Any extra libraries that are not in the GAC after .Net Framework is installed will be in the compiled folder along with your .exe file
