.Net 2.0 stand alone exe without installing runtime?

I have to develop stand alone software without having to install .net 2.0 framework.
As stupid this might sound, it is a constraint due to the dact the IT depratment of my client makes it extreemly hard to install software. None of the users have admin rights to their machines and the chance of IT department allowing any user to be an admin on their machine is sufficiently close to 0.

So is it possible to only deploy the required dll's for my application without deploying the frameowrk? (Cant change anything in registry either)

TIA

you can create programs that do not rely on the framework dlls (or any other non-os dlls) - but you cannot create a .net framework application that does not rely on the framework.

iow: incase all you are allowed to deploy is one single executable, you'll find this to be reall hard. it is possible to write a windows application that does not rely on anything but the os stuff - but all the services that you get from stuff like the c/c++ runtime library, or mfc, or atl, or suchlike, need to be implemented by yourself inside the executable. if i were you, i'd try to get rid of that client.

In that case back to Delphi 7.0, I try to get them to install .net before I write them off. Finidng clients is not easy!

Thanks
