    In theory, you can find out all the dependent assemblies (.dll) of your .NET
    exe, then copy those dependent dlls into your application directory, in
    addition you also need to copy the necessary CLR runtime files
    (c:\windows\system32\mscoree.dll,
    c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\mscorwks.dll, etc). Now you
    have all files to run your application, unfortunately, the CLR relies
    heavily on the windows registry settings (look at
    HLLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework hive), so copying files will NOT work,
    you need to do something on the registry.

    Our linker and mini-deployment tool does exactly the above:
    (1) find all dependent files, and put them into a directory
    (2) provide a virtual registry internal to your application
    Now you can copy the generated package to machines w/o .NET Framework, and
    it works just fine. It never touches the registry of the target machine.
