Convert a .NET WinForms Application to a binary executable


I have a very low spec computer running XP Embedded (512Mb RAM, 512Mb HDD). IE 8 doesn't fit on it with .NET, so I was wondering if it's possible to compile a WinForm's project to a binary executable (making it independent of the .NET framework)... for what I am doing it seems like a bit of over kill to rewrite the executable in Delphi, VB, or something similar...

Cheers,

Andrew


Solution

  • You can try porting your .Net project to version 4 and then you can only install .Net 4 client profile which is of very small footprint. You will need XP Service Pack 3 installed though.
