c# to native

I'm sure this question has been addressed before, but...
Is it possible to run a C# program on Win98 without having
to install the 20 MB .net framework?
I'm a java programmer and have to do a windows project.
VB is too primitive, VC++ is too complitcated, C# would be
the best fit for me, but if it requires more than 5 Mb
runtime, it's a non-starter...

Take a look of our mini deployment tool,

http://www.remotesoft.com/linker/

It puts togther the only required portion of framework
for distribution. Typical windows app can be deployed
with a zip file < 10MB. The tool can also link assemblies
together so only the really required methods will be
linked into the final assembly. You can simply copy the
directory to machines that do not have .NET framework,
the app runs as usual, a sample Windows app is available
from the website. (We are also working on the next step:
the native compiler)

A native compiler would kind of defeat the whole point of C#, so no.

A native compiler without the runtime might defeat the purpose of
..net, but that's not part of the C# specification.

It's entirely possible to write a C# program that doesn't implement
..net at all. Unfortunately, the first requirement would be to write
your own compiler since none are available yet.
