Unwanted .Net framework dependency

Somehow my application has developed a dependency on the .Net framework.



It is a C++ app built much the same as one would have with Visual Studio 6.



We were happily using Visual Studio .Net 2003 with no dependency on the .Net
framework. Somewhere along the line someone must have accidentally clicked
were they shouldn't have and the dependency arose.



Does anyone have any clues as to where to start to look to remove this
dependency?



Many regards,



Harry Hanley

Remove the dependency and recompile to see if anything breaks?

I cannot find the dependency. This is the main problem. I do not know where
it came from nor where it is only that customers cannot run without
installing dotnetfx.exe.

So how do you know the dependency is there? Only at the time of install?

Be cause users can no longer run the app without installing dotnetfx.exe...
a 20 mG download.

Ugh... I'd try asking the people over at
microsoft.public.dotnet.langauges.vc or microsoft.public.vc.ide_general or
the other vc.* NGs...

Otherwise I'd suggest the obvious: Check each and every option on your C++
project, and turn off anything that mentions "managed".

Is it a *managed* C++ project, by any chance?

That was it exactly, one library was needlessly set as "managed".
