When you develop an application in Visual Studio with C# and WPF, is it always necessary to install the .Net Framework on the client computer?
The installation of .Net takes more than 5 minutes in the best of cases. I don't understand if I want to install my application on a W7, why do I have to spend 5 minutes installing .Net since no other application has forced me to install it before.
Is there a way to use an application developed in C# with WPF that does not need .Net to work? (Or that needs a lighter version since it is not for developers).
