No. You have to have the proper .NET framework installed otherwise the program won't run. — Tim

Not really, but everything since XP has had some version pre-installed (or installed on first use). blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/03/14/… — Mitch

The short answer is No.

However, as you can see from the Microsoft site, if you are using a Microsoft Windows Version that is still supported, you have very good chances of having a Framework Version 3.0 or 3.5 preinstalled and already available.
