creating an exe that starts without framework

is there a way to create *.exe files which have been coded in C# and
run without an installed .net Framework?

Microsoft's C# compilers compile source code into MSIL, which runs on the
..NET Framework (or another CLI-compliant engine). What you'd need to
accomplish your question is a C# compiler that generates native code for the
processor. I'm not sure if any of these have been built by 3rd parties,but
it is possible.

Take a look of our product,

It puts everything together (including portion of the
framework) for deployment to machines that do not
have .NET framework installed.

So, if I wrote a C# app which did nothing except display an empty form
with the caption "Hello World", how big would the EXE file be, if
linked as a stand-alone app?
