Framework

[brooke]

Is there any way to run a C# program on a computer WITHOUT .NET framework 2.0?

[deranged]

Not if you compiled the C# program using the .NET Framework 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005).

Well what else could I compile it with in order for it to do this?

Nothing. You can compile C# against .Net 1.1 and 1.0 as well but it's going to require whatever framework you compiled it against.

You have to have the .Net framework on the system it's going to run on in at least some form. You can have them install Microsoft's distribution, or possibly Mono's but you need a framework none the less. With RemoteSoft's mini deployment tool it pieces the .Net framework into the same directory as your app so you don't need the entire framework but that tool costs over $1000 or so.
