Script runner on “naked” Windows system

Question

I want to write a little executable programm, which runs a cmd-script/batch script and writes the findings in a log files. I succeeded doing so in Java, but then I found out that I may not install Java, nor .net, nor anything else. I just have a "naked", freshly installed Windows system where it has to run.

Any ideas how I could solve that? Another programming language? Or can I pack my Java in my Executable package? How is that done?

Thank you!

C, C++, or Golang.

They don't require installation of heavy runtime systems.

.NET 2.0 should also work if you are only targeting Windows Server 2008 R2 (.NET 2.0 runtime should be available by default)
