I'm afraid there isn't
YOU NEED the .NET Framework to run your application. The best thing for you to do is to burn the .NET Framework on CD to your client and tell them to install it, saves them having to download it, then install your application.
.NET Framework is very common these days and really should be installed on all Windows OS's that support the .NET Framework.
Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 come shipped with .NET 1.1
Windows Vista comes shipped with .NET 3.0
i had developed my vb.net application on .net framework 3.0 can it be run on .net framework 1.0.
no as the clr is different and classes made in .net 3.0 are not available in earlier versions of the framework
I am in a big problem i have develop my windows application on vb.net 2005.
now i am want to deploy this at each client side is asks for .net framework if client does'nt have .
total size of my application is less than 1 mb but when client is going to download it with .net framework 2.0 the size become 33 mb.
no client want to download such large application,
now .dot net framework becomes a very big problem for me.
i ask so many people but did'nt found any problem.
is there anyway to solve my problem?
please reply asap.

There isn't im afraid, you NEED to install the .NET Framework on the client computer, either they download and install it, or you distribute it with your application.
is it possible that i can migrate my vb.net 2005 application into vb 6.0?
if it is possible then how can i do this and what kind of changes i need to made in my application.
not possible im afraid unless you re-write all components yourself or use similar controls. I dont see the reason why you cannot install the .NET Framework or let the client install it themselves as .NET Framework is now standard, part of Windows Update and is a one off installation.
Is there a way to build the project so that it includes the .net installer? So if the client tries to run the .exe without .NET 3.0 installed, a window will pop up and say: "You need to install .net, click here to install it" and run the installer from the .exe folder?
If that's not possible, I heard that when you "Publish" instead of "Build" the application, you can have the option to check for .NET and install it if it is missing, but that requires an internet connection I believe to download the installer.
