Hi, I have some difficulty understanding your question. You mention that you already have a c# or vb project. Which compiler did you use when creating these projects?

Are the visual studio express versions http://www.microsoft.com/express/ what you are looking for?

1 solution

Compilers for C# and VB.NET are always free! They come with .NET Framework re-distributable, which comes for free for anyone who has Windows installation.

I started developing with C# before I had VisualStudio.NET, using just the compiler; this is quite possible. These days, there is an Open Source IDE called SharpDevelop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharpDevelop[^].

Same thing with alternative implementation of the SLR standard, Mono (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)[^]) which is also free of charge. It is available for Windows, Linux and many more systems. It is ECMA/ISO standard compliant and of course, it comes with compilers. The level of compatibility with .NET is amazing. I even run my Windows.Forms applications (WPF for Mono is not available at this time) compiled on Windows on my Linux system without recompilation.

Wow! It's not related to the topic at all!
Google it if you need. If you have questions, post a different one, not on this page.
And hardly anyone will tell you more then creator of this program.

So, what's the deal about compilers? You don't really need anything beyond what I already listed, when it comes to C# and VB.NET (I would highly discourage against any VB, especially if you need experts; there are virtually no experts in VB). For other languages -- Wikipedia has good list of .NET languages (and and many languages with compilers).

Perhaps your original question was about "Installer" not "Compiler"?
