Can the program created using VB.Net 2003 run in the PC Windows XP without any .NET frame work?

i've been creating the small program using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, something like a simple financial cash flow program. It's almost finished, but i heard from my friend that the program will not work at the non-.NET framework-computer. so how to make my program to be able to run independently..??

You cannot. The user will need to have .NET Framework 1.1 or newer installed. You can package the program so when it's installed/run that it will automatically install the required framework.

Actually, you can link your application to the .NET Framework using a 3rd party tool called the "Salamander .NET Linker". I also believe that it allows you to create a native image for your application as well.

There was a usenet thread regarding this, the poster, "Huihong", notes that in addition to his product, there is an unsupported (and undocumented) method in which you can find the portions of the framework you need to deploy with your application.

However, many people do strongly recommend that you either provide the .NET Framework distributable with your software (especially if you are distributing on CD-ROM) or provide a link for the user to download the framework.

I've included links to the 3rd party's product page and the pertinent usenet posting below.
Using VB.NET, you can create a setup program that will deploy .NET on the machine if it is not already there.

Add a new project, I think it's under "other projects" called setup project to your existing solution and you will create a setup program that will detect if .NET is installed, and then install it if it is not.
