can i use vs .net to develop win32 apps?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am writing an application that I want to my users to be able to execute
without installting .net framework. For this, do I have to program using the
win32 api? I do not know VB, so my only other option would be c++ right?

Thanks.
