run on a computer that hasn't MS Visual Studio installed.

Where can I find that program that allows a c# program to

run on a computer that hasn't MS Visual Studio installed.

Open Internet Explorer, go to the menu items and find "Tools/Windows update"
The let the computer be scanned and if the .NET framework is not installed,
then install this and from then on the C# program should work.
In my opinion this is the best solution, since the user then can install his
own language.

If you provide this .NET framework yourself, then you have to distribute one
for every laguage (28 MB each???) and once installed you cannot change the
language verison.
This would force a Frenchmen to install an English .NET. Maybe he doesn't
like that at all...

any adverse effect after one installed .net framework?

any adverse effect after one installed .net framework?So far never had problems.
And I installed it on multiple W2K and XP machines.

The biggest problems I had was not understanding enough about the .NET
security which is embedded into the code itself, and the fact that I needed
to give a .NET application enough trust if it access a nework drive or if it
has te run from a network drive.

..NET programs are a little bit like ActiveX components, they need the right
to run, but the biggest difference between ActiveX and .NET components are
that the .NET does not ask you to give it rights, you have to do this by
going to control panel.administrative tools and there you find the .NET
framwork configuration shortcuts.

No. It does not affect software that does not use it. It is a set of DLLs.
It is not something that loads automatically -- it loads when your software
asks it to.

BTW, I think the latest Media Player, or something, is a .NET application.

Right! It runs (for the moment) parallel with Windows.
A little bit like VBRuntime dll or the MFC dll's with one big difference.
Both Delphi .NET VB .NET, VC# and VC++ .NET uses one and the same .NET
dll's.

In my opinion everything connected to Internet or LAN will use some time in
the future .NET managed code.
Probably the next series of Windows Severs and operating systems... It is
the only way for the moment to make programs more stable and secure.

BTW, I think the latest Media Player, or something, is a .NET application.

I do not know, maybe the next release?
