title: Which programming languages that can generate self contained windows .exes?
body: <p>I want to make an easy to deploy Windows application and was was wondering which programming systems can create totally self contained Windows .exe files?</p>
  
  <p>As a plus, if the same can be done with MacOSX and Linux from the same source this would be a bonus. I took a look at Realbasic but they have since abandoned the single .exe concept.</p>
  
  <p>update: i am looking for something that can run from Windows XP up to Windows 7, no matter what version of .NET is installed. Is this even possible?</p>
