i need to create an app for Windows PE which runs with a minimal subset of
windows dlls. is it possible to code an app in c# that uses only core
windows dll files, or are c# and .net so inextricably tied that anything
you make w/ c# will require a laundry list of non-coming-with-windows dll
files?

if they are so codependent how would one go about accomplishing such a
task??

thanks!

C# rides on top of the .Net framework (as to all the other .Net languages).
Any resulting .Net compiled executable requires the .Net framework.

If you don't want the .Net baggage, use a non-.Net language such as C/C++.
