I ported my windows phone7 application to windows 8(just copy paste the xaml and c# code in visual studio 2012->new->project->WPFApplication) and made changes in UI sizes.The problem is the .exe file(after building wpf application) runs only in the system with .NET framework installed.I want to run my application in all system running windows(7(32/64),xp,vista).I am newbie to windows application basically wp7 developer.Thank u.
WPF is a part of the .NET framework, so you can’t write a WPF application that can run without the framework on the machine.
If you want to create a binary that run on the classic windows runtime you can’t use WPF/C#/VB etc.
Best thing if you want to port your Windows Phone app to Windows 8 is to create a Microsoft Store app, File > New Project > Blank App in VS2012. The app won’t run on anything except Windows 8 but the Microsoft Store for Windows 8 is probably the best place to have your app if it’s ported from Windows Phone.
