How the hell can other people run my programs :S

[devil200]

Hey i just started writing in vb.net and I tried sending my first .net program to other people and it wont open :S Is it because they dont have the .net framework? And is their any way i can turn it off so they dont need it?

Please help

Your program needs the .NET Framework installed on the user's machine to work. If the user doesn't have the Framework installed, it won't run. Visit windowsupdate to install the framework.

I believe only VC++ has the ability to create programs that doesn't need the framework, as long as the Framework is not referenced in the code. I am not sure about this though.

With VB.NET you can't create programs that don't need the framework.

Thanks

ANd is there any way to put the .net framework into a setup with a couple of my progz, and not have it be like 20mb cuz of the .net framework installer? And when i compress it into a .zip its still the same size :S

The framework setup is already compressed about as far as it will go.
