Is there a way to create native exe?

[signbit]

Hello, Is there a way to create native exe from VS.NET? I have an application that would be used by a client who I don't think would have .NET framework. - A programmer's national anthem; "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

You can't create a native exe from a .net language (without spending some money at least). If you want a native exe you'll have to write it in C++.

There's Bartok by Microsoft Research, but it's not available to public. Best bet would probably be to tell them that the framework is part of Windows Update :)

I haven't seen non-commercial product but there are commercial products (like this one) that can produce native executable from .NET code.
