Solution 1

I have never tried this before, but IMO, you should be able to run the setup.
You will, however, not be able to run your program, you need to include the .Net Framework as part of your setup.

Solution 2

Do you mean set up a .NET software (as VB.NET project make a .NET assembly)? Probably it is possible, but why? The project will not run without the Framework. I see no sense.

Solution 3

No. Its not possible.

First you should install the framework.
If you install the setup without installing framework it will give alert to install frame work.

IF you used the Setup and Deployment project in Visual Studio, no you can't. That project requires the .NET Framework be installed before you can run the installer for your project.

If you used a third party setup creation system, like InnoSetup or InstallShield, Wise for Windows, ... then you can leave out the pre-req requirement of the .NET Framework and your installation will proceed. This is NOT a good idea though. If you have assemblies you're trying to install into the GAC or you're installing Windows Services you've written in managed code (VB.NET, C#, ...), or other items that require the .NET Framework be installed in order for these components to install properly, your installation will NOT work until the .NET Framework is installed.

Besides, your app won't even launch until .NET is installed anyway.
