Isn't that like asking for diet coke?

If its a .NET app, it needs the .NET framework. But possibly you want
to package the .NET framework installer into your application
installer?

I don't know what the legal issues are, but you can download the
'redistributabl e' for the .NET framework from M$ website.
I guess you could boot strap it or something. But as I said, check out
the legal issues first.

Surely you're kidding right?

You're responses seem a little 'negative' to me.
Perhaps Rajiv has either miscommunicated his question, OR he is simply
not very experienced with the .NET framework.
Either way, I think we should give him a chance to re-explain.

Go ahead Rajiv.

hi,

well, i do understand what u guys are trying to say? and even i think
that it is not possible to run a .net application without its
framework.. but when i spoke to some more experienced programmers
according to them it is possible... it seems that some dll's have to be
deloyed along with the application to run without the framework... may
be its not true?? i am yet to figure out a way... but still the
question lies in my mind.. and i am trying to explore the possibility
that if we had to do it without the .net framework what r the
options???

bye

In keeping with Steven's answer, we need to know whether your question
is:

"...does not required the .NET Framework to be installed beforehand."

in which case you can create a Setup project for your solution from the
Setup/Deployment Projects group. Default installations of Visual Studio
2003 cannot install the .NET framework along with your application, but
apparently you can download an add-on bootstrap plugin that will allow
you to include a .NET bootstrap in your setup.exe. I've never used it
myself, but here is the link to the (free) bootstrap plugin for Visual
Studio:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/do.../bootstrapper/

On the other hand, if your question is:

"...does not required the .NET Framework to be installed ever."

then the answer is no. All .NET programs require the Framework in order
to run. It is not possible to run a .NET program without the .NET
Framework.

Feb 6 '06 #8
There are no options. A .NET program will not run without the Framework
installed. Those "more experienced programmers" are wrong.

Apparently, it is possible to have the setup.exe that installs your
application (if you choose to install that way) install the Framework
first. I've never done it myself, but there is a downloadable tool for
this, so I assume that it's possible. See my other reply for details.

Feb 6 '06 #9
thanks Mr. Wood i got your idea of installing the framework at setup.

I have an application (that has unmanaged code) and when I launch it without 'FullTrust' permissions (LocalIntranet_Zone), it crashes. When I set 'FullTrust' permissions, it launches fine. Is there a way I can compile the application such that it won't even attempt to launch without correct permissions instead of just crashing? Thanks for any help. -Mike
