I have lots of projects on VB Express 2005. I want to publish them as standalone *.exe files, but I see no option for that.
Because there is no option for that in the "Express" version. You need to buy
VB6 the home or pro or whatever edition for that (I meant the full product, I know VB6 is not .NET, just a stupid typo).

No.... It doesn't create a standalone exe when you don't tell it to.
When you run code it's run in the debugger in P-code, and the only "exe" made is not a compiled standalone one. Making a standalone exe is compiling a program, which isn't possible with the free "Express" version.
