Static Linking and .NET versions

In a recent post, I asked how to run an .exe without a setup, and got the answer-- use static linking. I've looked it up, and it sounds perfect, as I'm in Korea, which means everyone can download very fast-- so file size is not an issue.


Q:
Will static linking also include .NET code for the version I'm writing it in? I've written my program in .NET 2.0, and I'm worried some customers may only have 1.0 (ugh). Will my static-linked program work on those systems, or will I have to find a way to force the update?

Ideally, I'd like to move to .NET 3.0, but I know for sure that some of the customers don't have it.

.NET is a whole different issue. I don't believe you can link a .NET app statically and at any rate, this is off-topic for this forum.
