Converting an MSIL exe file to a native exe file?

[avivgur]

Is there any way to convert an MSIL exe file (the kind created by
visual studio .net) to an exe file that will run on microsoft windows
computers without the net framework?
Thanks,
Aviv.

no, 'by design'.
Managed code does need a Framework to run.
MSIL provides 'verifiable' code with type-safety
and helps to protect against leaks and attacks.

There is a program that will do what you are looking for (can't remember the
name or company) BUT I strongly advise against using it. If you later install
a newer version of the framework or a service pack that fixes a vulnerability
it will not be applied to your program.

Like the other posters, I don't believe it's a good idea. However,
links to two companies who make such products are at
