Visual C# Application Deployment

Hello,

Is it possible to create an application with "Visual C# 2005 Express Edition" that can be deployed on another PC running the Windows operating system without the .NET Framework installed on that PC.

Thank you,

Robert

    Thanks; Do you mean that any application created with the Visual Studio Express Eddition (e.g., C#, or C++), can only be deployed on anther PC running Windows that has the .Net Framework already installed

    Thank you.

    To be fair to the person who started this thread the thread you refer to is giving an answer that is specific to C++ (i.e. yes, if you complie to native code) and so they still need a C# specific answer.

    My understanding is that the Express additons have no way of packaging your application into an MSI and so you are unable to bundle the framework redistrubutable in with it, which would be one way of getting around the problem.

    So the answer is that the framework must already be on the machine or you need to supply it as an MSI that needs to be run before your app will work.

    Happy coding.
