Sorry if this has been covered before, I've been searching the net for a while now but cant find a definitive answer.
Basically, I was under the impression that languages such as VB.NET and C#.NEt required the .NET framework be installed on the target systems where as C++ could run natively without anything additional needing installing. However, I opened up C++ Express 2008 and started following some tutorials on how to build windows forms in it but whilst doing this I noticed there are several different types of projects etc and I dont want to use one that requires the .NET framework be installed.

I tried making an empty win32 project but when I add a form it says it will convert it to CLR mode, which im assuming means it will then require the .net framework.
So how should I be going about making a windows form application that DOESNT need anything installing first for it to run?

Thanks
