Question : windows service with out .net framework

Hi guys...

I am facing a scenario where I need to develop a windows service to run on windows platforms which does not require any .net framework installed in windows PC

What I mean is: if we go to the path C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework, there we can see   different versions of frameworks insatlled which came directly with the installation of windows OS (either XP (all service packs), Vista and 7). My requirement here is if any windows PC does not have a framework installed in it, then my windows service probably not going to run on it ?.

So what kind of Windows OSs does not have any Microsoft.NET frameowrk installed ?

How can I develop a windows service which can run on any windows platform that does not have .NET framework installed.

Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks,
rakhy.

Answer : windows service with out .net framework

I agree with plusone3055 - your service won't run without .net being installed.  So forget about using  C# to develop it - that is a .net based language.

>>So what kind of Windows OSs does not have any Microsoft.NET frameowrk installed ?
All versions of windows, .net is an extra set of functionality that may or may not be installed.

>>How can I develop a windows service which can run on any windows platform that does not have .NET framework installed.
By using any language that is not dependant upon the .net functionality eg. C / C++ / Pascal / Fortran ..............

ps.  You will already have languages such as C/C++ in visual studio, just do NOT create a new project that uses .net (such as C# projects)
