question: install selenium on non-development PC (Windows)

[ghost]

Feature and motivation

Hi

I use the nuget package for C# to develop with Selenium.
If I want to give my application to somebody who has no Visual Studio and no nuget package, how does this user have to install Selenium on the PC?

I see there are the following files included next to my EXE

• WebDriver.dll
• in the folder selenium-manager\windows: selenium-manager.exe

Questions:

• Are those 2 files enough to run on another PC?

• But when the chromedriver is run, I see in the command window the following file: chromedriver.exe
  How should the user install this file on the PC?

• Are there code changes needed to make it run on another PC?

I now use:

IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Usage example

N/A
