Who can help me?

Hi everyone,
Now I have a program by C#. I already build it go to .exe file. Now I want to run it on local machine without .net framework so how do I make it? If you have good solution please tell me thanks!

[RaleTheBlade]

You kinda need to .NET Framework to run it. That's like trying to run a Java application without a JRE. There's always IL merge, but I believe it would still require the .NET Framework to run. If you didn't want to use the .NET Framework you could have programmed it in Win32/C++

[BioPhysEngr]

Aye, the .NET framework is currently required to run a C# application. You would need to find a native compiler to run it without the framework and they do not appear to exist. If you are using Windows, you can get the latest .NET framework from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...displaylang=en

If you are running in a linux environment, you can try using Mono: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page (this also runs under Windows of course, but - though they claim the contrary - there is usually not a good case for using it in preference to the Microsoft version unless you have a very specific need)

You'll need to install one of those to run your code.

Good luck! Let us know if you need further assistance.

Ok, I already understand your idea and I already know about that. But this is my boss request so i don't have more choice. I already explain all for him but he want me to find solution for to do that. If there is no way to do that so we can have another way. My project makes by C# is good solution for my job. Now my project need to add just small that request. If everyone have another solution please tell me! Thanks. I'm thinking to portable now. If everyone have more idea about that plz tell me.

There is no way of running a .NET application on a machine which doesn't have the .NET framework installed.

I've afraid what you're asking is kind of like "I want to run a Windows application on a machine which doesn't have Windows installed".

You could potentially switch to native C++, however these days you have to have the correct C++ runtime installed on the destination machine so you'll always have to install something.

Why not produce an msi (google for deployment projects) which will install the correct .NET framework as part of its install.

That doesn't mean it makes sense. I'm curious to hear why your boss would request this at all. You don't have to package the .NET runtime with the installer; any up to PC will have the current version of .NET anyway. You can simply add logic to your installer that downloads the update if needed.

I thank everyone told me about my problem. I will try to find another way to solve my problem. Thanks everyone shared your idea to me.
Have a nice day to you.

if you have to solution, please to share it for please.

I have a computer program that I want to run without a computer.

All you need is rocks and some time: http://xkcd.com/505/

I didn't see you specify any restrictions on the computational speed. :-)

[MadHatter]

lol, loved that one! xkcd rocks! knew which one you were talking about without even clicking on the link :P

but rocks and time still qualify as a computer.

[longvan_dmit]

Oh my god!

[longvan_dmit]

Ah ha! hey everyone.
I have a solution. Now I make two program, one by C# and one by vb6. Vb6 program will run automatically on pc then it checks exist .Net framework. If pc exist .Net framework then stop running vb6 program. If pc not yet install .Net framework so vb6 program auto download .Net framework setup file. When download finish vb6 program stop running on pc. And C# program just run when it called. So my problem now is how to make one vb6 program auto running on pc when pc start or started. I don't ever make vb6. Who can help me this problem.

[MadHatter]

you should use an installer to install your product. by doing this you can check to see if .net is installed when the application is installed, and install it then. this way, every time your program runs you can be sure that .net is installed because the only way to get your program on the system is through the installer, and the only way for that to happen is if the installer checks the system and installs .net if its not already there.

visual studio has a windows install editor built into it (at least the standard or pro editions do). otherwise you can use installshield, or NSIS (which is free).


if you write a vb6 executable, what's to stop the user from deleting the vb6 program?


do what everybody else does, and use an installer, and check for .net when the app is installed.

A computer sensu lato... Waaay lato.
