Hajo,

I consider usage of below tool.
http://www.remotesoft.com/linker/

Do you have any bad/good experience with it?
What are its limitations ?

Just a general comment, as I've not used this product (I tried a somewhat
similar one called Thinstall).

I'm not keen on the concept, except in very specific circumstances. Examples
might be:

- you want to minimize system changes on the target computer, eg. for a demo

- Installation of the .NET Framework has failed and you can't fix it

- There's a critical need to miminize size of the required download.

Otherwise, I wouldn't bother, because the disadvantages are greater.

- The app will consume just as much memory, or more if you run several .NET
apps.

- The app will not benefit from critical updates to the .NET Framwork

- Little or no performance benefit.

- Pointless (or worse) in those cases where .NET Framework is already
installed.

Thanks Tim for quick response,

The size is not a problem. I need a solution where user
clicks exe file and application works. Therfore I can not
carry out the installation process :(.

Then it might work for you. On the other hand, are you sure you want to use
..NET if that is the requirement? Borland's Delphi (Win32 version) is good at
building executables without many dependencies.

I don't think it would make much difference.

Hello,

In case you haven't heard of it, may I suggest that you try XenoCode,
which is easy to use and very attractively priced:

Does standard contains feature I requested ?
I can not find this information on page where
comparison of these two version is.

Hi Gawel,

XenoCode 2005, currently in beta, enables you to link the part of the
Framework that your application uses and lets you put everything into
one executable.

This eases deployment and solves incompatibility problems between the
various deployed Framework versions.

For a further discussion on the subject, please see this thread on our
