    What you need is a bootstrapping mechanism. I would suggest using the WiX toolset to create a msi file. Then integrate a bootstrapper that will check if the .NET Framework is present and if not to install it. Worked great for me.

      An .msi file is just a file. You can copy it onto pretty much any computer. However, the Application will not be able to run without the framework.

        why do you try talking sense? are you saying you have created an application using .Net Framework that installs another application? And please tell me why on earth you would want to install a program that you never intend to work?

          1. Don't Cross Post 2. Open the installer project, go to [View -> Editor -> Launch Conditions] 3. You've gotten the same answer about 10 times now and responded the same way to all of them but whether you like it or not you need to install .Net for a .Net app to run. What you want to do makes no sense.

            well as far as i know the .msi will run as long as the machine has the right windows installer on it. So your application should install. But it wont work as you will need to install the .Net Framework. What you should do is include the re distributable with your setup as it is a requirement of the application. If by some how you are trying to ask if you can 'embed' the framework in your application or something like that then the answer is no. Basically if your don't want to use the .Net Framework on client machine then don't develop with it in the first place.

                Personally? I would install the .net framework, or next time if a requirement is no .net framework, then guess what... I wouldn't use a .net language! DING DING DING, fail.

I would read what other people have written in response and realise I am being an outstanding feckwit thinking that I can run a program that uses a specific runtime library without having the library installed. You cannot run a .NET x.x program without installing .NET x.x runtime. That is it. There is no room for a three-year-old-tantrum here. You want the program, then you install the runtime. Do you understand? Answer YES or NO.

                      You have two options: 1) install .Net - this will allow the installer to run and install your software. 2) don't install .Net - the installer won't run which makes your software worthless. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one you want to do.

                                Xenocode[^] and Remotesoft[^] have applications that will allow an application to be written in .NET without needing the framework installed. The main differences are that salamander will precompile your app into native code, xenocode will just stuff the .net executable inside a wrapper, and that xenocode will combine all the .net dlls in as well while salamander will leave them separate. IIRC one of the virtualization companies sells a similar service for ~$5k but I never investigated it in detail because of the price differential.

                                  Why?? Since you can't even run your project, let alone install it, without .NET 3.5 installed, what's the point of getting the installer to work without it??
