I want to make freeware with .NET2.0, but i know that have many
PC with no Framework2.0 installed. and many users afraid from
install programs, and also, install NET Framework take at least
6 minute to install.

this requirements is big obstacle to reach to all users.

this is not secret that it's really possible to copy need component
like mscorlib.dll into App directory, and call to API to run .NET
app with no framework install.

the ThinInstall and other pragram do that. but the cast is not suit
for freeware writer.

Have some one that know how do that, by my own code?

Our linker and native compiler tool can do that, it gurantees the best
code protection (all is native code), best startup time and best
performance.

If you want to put together a package for yourself, you might be able
to do it for some type of applications. However, for some applications
that requires .NET Framework registry entries, the trick thing is to
implement a virtual registry that stores essential .NET Framework
entries so your application runs as if the .NET Framework is installed.
Look at the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework

for more info. There are other critial entries.
