Does anyone know if it is possible / legal to create a Windows application
with the one of the .NET languages ( say C# ) and imbed the runtime with the
application so that a person without
the .NET framework installed on his / her computer can run the application.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dennis,

The official answer should be "No, it's not possible" but you may want
to have a look at this:
http://thinstall.com/help/html.html?linking_netframework.htm

I never tried this product, though.
 
trying to avoid the download?

This question has been covered many times in this NG.

The framework is a seperate executable. It comes from MSFT. It is no more
embeddable than a JVM is.

In fact, I believe it's less embeddable. It's quite possible to have a
JRE which is "private" to an application (with the files just present,
but no installation procedure required), but I don't *think* .NET can
run without being properly installed.

There is a shop that pretends to be able to do that, but
I lost their URL. I don't belive either ;-)

You can use our linker tool to deploy Exe/COM Dlls w/o framework,

http://www.remotesoft.com/linker

Here is an example of a linked exe:

http://www.remotesoft.com/linker/samples/scribble/scribble_linked.zip (with
framework libraries linked into the exe)

In order to run the linked exe w/o framework, a subset of the CLR files need
to be included, the total size is about 6MB.

More samples can be found at

Thanks,

If you mean the Salamander linker, I believe that actually does
something slightly different - it's not that it has the normal
framework in a private directory, so much as it builds appropriate bits
into a specially formed library.

Of course, you might be thinking of something entirely different :)
