The best way to create a standalone program for windows without the need for installation of preliminary details?

Question

I was instructed to create a small GUI launcher application to switch to a CD that will offer the user some software and some videos. This does not target particularly tech-savvy people, so it should be pretty simple. I assume that the real gluing point is that it will be based on the shape.

I would really like the launcher to simply start from exe without installing any .net files or installing java. I know that ClickOnce is pretty simple, and if necessary, I will give it up, but I thought it was worth considering if there are any simple ways to do this.

Mostly I use Visual C # these days, but I have experience with java and c, and I'm a relatively fast learner, so feel free to suggest other languages.

Depending on the minimum target OS, you can choose VB6 if it does not serve you too much, since the VB6 runtime is included in Windows with Windows 2000. However, you need to stick to the included controls to keep things simple.

You say ur clienats are not technical, so the chances of removing .net frameworks from their machine are very low.
