method to copy your run-time application from the development computer to the run-time
computer.
You can:
 Copy the application file from the development computer to removable media such as
USB thumb drive or USB hard drive, and then from the removable media to the run-
time computer.

Explorer or My Computer to move the file.
For information about creating the run-time application file, see Chapter 14.
