it is possible to make my app work without .net Framework!

Hi Folk

I have created a VB.NET Win Application and when I try to install it, it asks me to install the .net Framework first!!

Is it possible to install a Win App on third party machines without the need to install the .net Framework !!!!!!!!!

This is a big disaster, if I will need to install a 20 MB to make a 200 kb application Works!

I need to run my application without the .net Framework!
Any ideas please
Thanks

    2.0 (or later) should be installed on Longhorn by default and that should spear the development of .Net apps considerably, because at the mo I have to provide additional instructions to people who want to use my apps and that isn't nice when they just want to put the thing in and use it.

    Can you believe that was one sentence!

    I think there is no way to convert .NET applications to native code, but I think .NET Framework worths downloading. If you don't want .NET Framework because your computer is old, the applications are running very slow, I recommend to butterfly (or google) Install-time code generation. If there is another reason, remember: .NET Framework runs not only your application; and .NET Framework is installed to Windows 2000, Windows XP by default.

    .NET Framework is not default by Win2k or WinXP. It is not included in any server pack for Win2k and WinXP.

    I think Microsoft has missed a change here.

    For running application without the use of any framework you must chose for a native language such as C++. But .NET is such a powerfull framework so deal with it Big Smile

    You can take a look at this. But normally you need to have the .NET Framework installed to run .NET application.

    For JAVA you need to have the Virtual Machine and for Visual Basic 6 you need the VB-Runtimes. So the need of a Framework is not new.
