Salamander Linker will create an executable that doesn't require the
framework to be installed:

Note that it's still using the framework, but the tool above creates a
custom subset for your executable and links it in, as well as creating a few
extra files to copy (but still no installation.)
Note that there are lots of potential issues to consider before going this
route - CAS, third-party assembly compatibility, patch / runtime upgrade
deployment. However, it may also give some benefits.
It may be a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth looking at.

I'm a total novice, so please don't laugh. Is there any way
I can make a C# executable that does not rely on the .NET
framework?
