I don't think so....

However, if the clients machine is XP with all security updates, etc.,
there's a GOOD chance the 1.1 framework (at least) is already on there. You
COULD carry the dotnetfx.exe with you, and INSTALL it, but... often that
will fail on a machine on a corporate network due to network policies.

Can you take a laptop and show it from YOUR machine? That's the safest
approach in insuring you can run the thing once there.....

Assuming you have XP, create a new "account" on your laptop, and run it from
there. You can even let your customer run it from there on your laptop. The
new account prevents anyone from hosing your main account...

Just some thoughts.....

No, the framework must be installed on the PC that is running the
application.
