John is right.

If you create a .NET application (or dll), you need .NET framework to load and run them.
It is like Java with the virtual machine: if there is no virtual machine installed, then you can't run you java binaries.

If you don't want to install .NET framework, then code in "classical" C/C++ instead of C# for example.

You can't run a .Net app on a machine that doesn't have (the appropriate version of ) .Net installed. Period. End of story. What you should do is create a setup project in your solution which automatically sets up the .Net dependancy, which forces the user to download/install .Net if necessary.
