Package and deploy in .NET



Hi,

I have an application written in C# .NET 2005 using .NET framework v2.0, the
execute file is only 500KB and it used two third party DLLs, all added up
to round about 1MB.

My question is when i distribute my application to friends do i have to
include .NET framework v2.0 as part to of the setup. I don't really want to
include .NET framework v2.0 because it increases my final executable install
file dramatically. From 1.5MB to 25MB because the framework v2 is 22+MB.

Is there anyway i can get my application running on my friends machine
without installing the full version of .NET framework v2. I want the
absolute mimimum because my application doesn't use much of the .net
controls anyway, mostly console and back up processing.

Looking forward hearing from you all.

Regards


.
