In theory, your MSIL should be able to execute on any machine that contains the same kind of support as the .net framework (depends what your app requires). Take for example the mono project (www.mono-project.com). mono is the .net runtime for Linux, Solaris, Mac, etc.
Platform invoke (pinvoke) is used to make calls into the underlying operating system. Therefore as soon as you use pinvoke, your application is tied to the underlying platform (OS).
It probably isn't relavent in your situation since you are probably only targetting Windows for this project. But if not, be warned that pinvoke'd functions are platform dependent.

In which sense do I become platform dependant?

from a managed app. Of course, you then become platform dependent.

Or is there some other reason you say it cannot be done? I admit
I've never done it from a managed app and I may be missing something.
