"slimmed" framework

[Guest]

Hello,

I want to pass a vb.net program without having to install the whole .net framework on the other computer. Is there a possibility to install a "slimmed" version of the .netfx.exe? Has anybody already created such a slimmed version or can anybody tell me that this is definitely n o t possible?

Thank you for your help.

It is probably possible with one of the open-source implementations (mono
and dotgnu) of .net, but they might not be 100% compatible, not 100%
complete, so if this is only a disk space problem, by a new HD!

The problems with a "slimmed" Framework...

Who would decide what stays and what goes?
If at some point in the future, you needed additional functionality not
included in the "slimmed" version, you would have to install it again.
Many versions of the Framework would be out there. Nobobdy would know what
was going on.

Not worth the hassle IMHO.

If you really want to avaoid installing the dotnet framework ( the only
reason I can see for that would be pollitical ), I think your best bet would
be to use a tool that would take the IL exe file, and recompile it to a
native machine code executable.

I have heard of such a tool, but unfortunately I don't know what it's
called, or where you can find it!
