I am an ASP.NET developer, but now I want to build a software that can be installed on my PC. Software built in .NET platform only works when the .NET Framework is installed, and software written in Java only works if the JDK is installed. When I install programs like Firefox, uTorrent, etc., I don’t need to have any frameworks (.NET, JDK, etc.) installed. How do I write software that doesn’t depend on a framework?
You will have to use a language that isn’t dependent on a framework or otherwise only target clients that are already have your framework installed.
If you chose C or C++ for example, you would distribute binaries to your client that contained machine code. This code would not be dependent on a runtime environment (like C# or Java) or an interpreter (like Python or Ruby). This is the way that applications like Firefox and uTorrent are written.
