Compiling it will do that.

Or are you trying to create an exe that will run without the CLR?

Exactly.

I want to create an Exe File that i can use without having the C# development Software installed.

If the Compiler creates with every compiling exe files, where are they stored?

Best regards. TIMO

This should be easy:
Create your C# program and compile it.
Create a C/C++ self-extracting archive program (there are third party tools such as Abbrevia which can facilitate this), which contains the CLR installer (.Net runtime) and your program. When this program runs, it unpacks and installs the .Net runtime, then unpacks and runs your C# program.
Your program will probably be about 16 MB larger as a result and a bit slow on the first run.
