title: How to release .Net apps without bundling .Net framework?
body: <p>I have a strange requirement to ship an application without bundling .Net framework (to save memory footprint and bandwidth). </p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? Customers may or may not have .Net runtime installed on their systems.</p>
  
  <p>Will doing Ngen take care of this problem? I was looking for something like the good old ways of releasing C++ apps (using linker to link only the binaries you need).</p>
