Hi Fady,

Basically no, you need .net framework installed on the client machines.
It's a bit like running java applications without java installed, the latest
games without DirectX installed, or windows applications without windows
installed. Ship the framework redistributable with your program.

That said, I believe there are some companies selling software that you can
run a .net program inside without having the full framework, but I couldn't
tell you who or how it works.

Happy Coding!

remotesoft linker is one. but I'd strongly recommend against it. it's
better to have the whole framework installed anyway.
