Running .net based application without .NET Framework
.net, .net-2.0, deployment
Solution
There are a several different tools out there, a couple I have tried are:
- XenoCode Postbuild (now Spoon Studio) (now TurboStudio)
- Salamander .NET Linker
You can find more by doing a search for ".NET Linker."
The two above, which I tried, seemed to work ok, but I never widely tested my code built with them. I tried them mostly out of curiosity.
My .NET apps are mostly used by IT departments. Installing the .NET framework is no big deal for them.
If you want to write software more targeted at end users then the .NET install may turn them off.
Problem
Is there a way to run .net based applications without .net framework installed. Is there a way to do this. Is there a software that can achive this. Commercial software is also possible. Added: Has anyone any experience with VMWare thin client?
