Making an app work on a computer without the .net framework
-
Hi, I want to test my little text editor app on another computer but when I have sent things like this to friends over msn, they get an error, is there someway of bundling the framework with the program or is the only way to turn it into an installation type thing with the framework with it? Thanks.

They can just download and install the framework. No, there's no way around it.

Bundle your app with the .NET framework. Alternately, use the bootstrapper built-in to VS to generate a setup program that downloads and installs the .NET framework only if required.

I know there are products which allow you to create a free standing exe, but pointing that out just muddies the waters. None of the solutions I know of are cheap, and really, I think they are a bad idea in any case.
