So, I wrote a program, and I would like to make it runnable on a school computer.
The problem is, I have no clue if there is the .NET framework installed, and we obviously have no administrator rights to install it. Is there any way I could "include" the .NET framework with the program, so I don't have to worry about .NET framework not being installed?
The computers are all running Windows 10, if you're gonna ask for that.

By the way, the program is just a simple C# winform program, no additional dependencies such as SQL or something, no dlls or anything, just a normal C# program.

    I believe Windows 10 should already come with Framework 4.6. Why not just target that? – Llama Mar 03 '19 at 14:54

    It doesn't weigh that much. Win10 already has the framework installed, you merely forgot to try it. – Hans Passant Mar 03 '19 at 14:56
  • @HansPassant The comment on the answer by the OP says you are right :) – Camilo Terevinto Mar 03 '19 at 14:57
  • If you want a real portable application, that runs on any windows version, then you should use other compilers then from microsoft. I know this might sound weird, but this is how it is. One programming language I know that can do this is Delphi. No distributables needed of any kind, no runtime librarys, just copy the exe and run it. The size of the exe will be between 5 and 20 MB depending on how rich your UI is – GuidoG Mar 04 '19 at 12:06
