# .NET Bundling

Enable this option to create a .NET Core/5.0/6.0 single file application. The executable is self-extracting and contains all dependencies (including native) required to run your app. When the app is first run, the application is extracted to a directory based on the app name and build identifier. The startup is faster when the application is run again. The application doesn't need to extract itself a second time unless a new version is used.
