.NET RunTimes

[VB-Mike]

Is their such a thing as .NET runtimes or do I have to install the entire 127 meg framework to run an application on another workstation?

To run an application on an other workstation you'll need the CLR (Common Languge Runtime) not the complete framework.

Ok, my next question is how or where do I find the Common Language Runtimes? Looked in MSDN and in the IDE directories and could not find it.

You can't compile a VB.Net application to native code. This is done with a JIT compiler the first time the application runs or you might do the JIT compilation when you install the application.
"Supplied with the IDE" - yes but you wouldn't require the users to get a copy of Visual Studio.Net just to run an application you've developed.

It isn't available for download yet, since VS.Net haven't been released.
It will be available sometime in December and MS will also provide it in various Service Packs to come...
