dont forget that alot of applications the user has installed may have already downloaded .NET,

Also .NET is usually downloaded via the Windows Update so the chances are the the user will have .NET installed.

If you dont want to take your chances you may have to redesign your application with another language supported without a framework.
litewarez Reviewed by litewarez on . Run .net framework app without it I am making a application in C# with .Net framework 3.5 SP1 installed. It's of nearly 300 MB. I don't think andyone wants to download 300 MB .NET Framework just to run my app. After I finish creating my application, is it possible to convert it so that it can run in any machine (I mean Windows without .Net installed ) OR should I write my app in VB6.
