How to run C# Windows application from USB without installing .NET framework on client system

Question

Is it possible to run a C# .NET Windows application (.exe) from pendrive or USB without installing the .NET framework on the client system?

If so, how can I make it work?

Answer 1

I came across this product a couple of years ago - Salamander .net Linker.

No idea if it actually works as I didn't test it but it claims to do what you want. I cam across a couple of other products that claim the same thing but they were all fairly expensive for my needs hence the lack of testing them out.

Answer 2

In order to run a C#.NET application in a computer you have to install de .NET framework on that target computer.

At this time any machine with Windows XP SP3 or higher windows version (Windows Vista or Windows 7) have the .NET framewok installed.
