Hi,

We all know the end user must install the .NET Framework 2.0 to run
2.0-Framework applications.
But, is there a way to 'embed' the framework into a windows forms
application without the user actually installing the framework in the first
place.
The application would load the CLR at run-time, and then remove itself from
memory when the application terminates. If my memory serves me right, I
remmeber a discussion somewhere about doing this with .NET 1.1 - but I never
tried it.

Is this possible?

Regards,
Jack.

You need 3rd party tools. See for example:
