I would like to know if there is free software to link assemblies together,
deploy without whole Framework installation. so I could work my application
in any computer without Framework.

Thanks
 
Not free. There is one for about $2000 and the resulting exe is large, so
not much point. Much easier to install the framework once and be done. I
would also think you would battle with unsupported issues that would be hard
to diag, even if there was a free one.

I'm not aware of any way to do this, but you might be able to get solve some
of your challenges by bundling the .NET Framework with your app. See
http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/vsboot for details.


Or, in case all you need is to check if the Framework is already
installed and take action accordingly, there is perhaps a handier
solution.

Check out http://www.offlab.com/dotnetcheck
This small tool sits on top of your application's setup (.msi or any
other kind) and checks if the .NET Framework is already on the computer.
In case it is not there, it prompts the user to download and install
it. Done that, the actual installation starts.
