Salamander .NET Linker and
mini-deployment tool allows you to link .NET assemblies together into a single
file, and to deploy your application without installation of the whole
Microsoft .NET Framework. The linker links MSIL code on demand putting together
only the required classes and methods, and it is capable of linking into the
Microsoft .NET framework class libraries. The mini-deployment tool then builds
a minimum set of the Microsoft .NET runtime to ship with your .NET programs.
This usually results in installation file size of a few mega bytes, rather than
tens of mega bytes, and the installation takes much less time without rebooting
machines. There are still many low-end machines that are not suitable for .NET framework
installation, and some users may not be willing to install the framework at
all, this tool helps you to reach more customers as it silently deploys a
trimmed down version of the framework without any noticable effects and
conflicts. The framework appears as an integrated part of your own application.
