Visual C＃：使用运行时DLL编译

Question

I'm trying to compile my program in Visual C#. However, the machine I need it to run on (well, I need it to be able to run on any Windows Machine, at least Windows XP) does not have the .NET DLLs installed. I'm new to this, so how can I compile my Visual C# program with the runtime DLLs so that it will run on other machines?

Answer 1

There is no way. You need .NET runtime installed prior running any .NET application.

Answer 2

If you use Click-Once deployment, you can set a setting in the installer that the installer should install the .NET framework before running. If that's not an option (such as target machine has slow/no internet connection) you can install the redistributable version of .NET

Answer 3

You can't. .Net programs can only run if the .Net framework / CLR is installed on the target machine. There is no pure XCOPY deployment story for this scenario.
