hi i have made a few of my own vb application using visual studio 2008.but after i publish those applications,i have to install it in order to run it.also, .net framework 3.5 is also needed.so,is there a language SIMILAR to visual basic that can make standard exe's without the need to install and no additional files necessary???? is c# something like that?

p.s. even if .net framework is needed,it's no big problem
