Yes, you need the .NET framework to run any .NET application.

A friend of mine is trying to open my program on his computer and he gets
unable to initialize applicaiton.
Anybody know a reason this might be happening?
I tried the application on another computer it works.
Just as I pressed post he finished installing .net and the application worked.
On a side note, I wonder if microsoft decided to make it mandatory to install .NET because there is a technical need. Meaning they could've done it to
spread .NET popularity. Just a thought.
Thanks.

Your application needs the .NET framework installed because C#
applications use the .NET framework. That's the only reason. As far
as I know there is no way to compile a native C# application, meaning
one that isn't running as MSIL code through .NET's runtime engine.
Longhorn will ship with the .NET framework as a replacement for Win32
and will even have command-line versions of the compilers (right now
you have to download them yourself from Microsoft's website), so you
know you can always code no matter what system you sit down in front
of.
