C# compiled staticly?

[Jason]

Is it possible to compile a c# app for a specific platform without the need
for someone to have the correct framework version installed?

 

[Niki Estner]

Yes, but these executables still need the framework installed. You should
google for ".net linker". I think that's how the tools you look for are
called.

I believe NGEN creates a native EXE

oh dear not sure I like that, firstly it seems that you are *still*
compiling against a particular framework version (since bits of this is what
is being included into the executable), but even more worrying it seems to
be conceptually breaking parts of the framework methodologies. I suppose
this is probably going to be popular for distributing to the home market
though.

Br,
