native-executable

Is there any approach to convert an application developed in .NET into a native executable (sources are included)? Installing the whole framework (up to .NET Framework 3.5 SP1) takes a lot of time - not always the computers are updated from the internet. Is it possible to call NGen in order to produce independent executables? Thanks It's not available yet, but the Mono project team are working on an Ahead of Time compiler that will do what you are looking for. The intention is for Mono to work on the iPhone (like Unity) but it should work for all platforms. Edit: It does support Mono x86, but
