    Hi I have developed an application with .net framework 2.0 using C#. Is it possible to run this application on third party machines without the need to install the .net Framework? Thanks

        Normally, it's not possible. It is is you buy third party tools, that cost upwards of a couple of thousand dolloars, that compile the required .NET Framework pieces into your app.

          Thank you, I checked the Xenocode PostBuild and it seems it could fix the problem, but it is way too expensive, isn´t there something cheaper?

            Nope. Every one I've seen is $1,000 or more.

                  Yes, you can run C# applications without the .NET framework installed, but only if you have the MONO framework installed.

                    What is PostBuild's reputation? Is there something that is considered better?

                      Hell if I know. I don't use them, nor do I recommend doing so.

                          First and foremost, Service Packs for the .NET Frameworks. Every one of them has had at least one so far. The service packs cannot be applied to the application once "baked" by one of these utilities. Second, depending on how much of the framework your app is using, they can generate massive .EXE's for deployment. And, if you have a bunch of these apps built with the .NET Framework baked into each, the collection can suddenly have the same framework multiple times for each .EXE. I've heard of problems or total non-functionality of Reflection with some them, though I haven't bothered to test these claims either way.
