VS2005 App from Thumb Drive

[ekim12987]

I need to update some registry settings and regedit has been disabled on the computers for security reasons. I created a C# program in VS2005 that updates the registry. What I want to do is install it on a thumbdrive then go to each computer and run it to update the settings. All of the computer have XP, but most do not have .net 2.0. When I try this now it says .net is required. Is there anyway I can do what I want, maybe by adding more files to an exe, or is the only way to have .net installed on all computers?

Thanks

You'll have to have .NET Framework installed to run managed code.

What you might want to is have your net admin push it out as an update. I'm not sure how to do that but our admins here did that before we deployed any VS 2005 apps so that we could do XCOPY installs on them.

2 on your organization having secured systems. It will save you a lot of headaches over time although it can complicate deployment.
