.Exe Packager

Hi guys,
I know that to give anyone a copy of one of your programs, to make it work, you have to have the 1.1143 redistributable framework from microsoft. I was wondering if there was any way or if there are any utilities that package the files, and make regular .exe files that will work on anyone's computer reguardless of whether or not they have the framework on their computer
Is there anything like this on the horizon

Any input is greatly appreciated!
-Robert

    No - this question is asked frequently and the answer is always the same - applications developed in .NET languages required the .NET Framework to be run. There is no way around this requirement.

    You can however build Click Once Deployment project which will install the .NET framework if they try and run the application on a Machine that doesn't have the framework installed.

    Is anything like this on the horizon. I very very very much doubt it.

    Lets start with reading about click once

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/windowsforms/learning/features/clickonce/default.aspx

    This will give you a starting point. Click Once is the deployment solution for VB Express and there are numerous articles and postings on Click Once Deployment.
