You can't.
C# and VB both depend on the .NET framework, and cannot run without it, or a framework emulator (such as Mono). The later would be so much trouble to install that you might as well bite the bullet and install the "proper" .NET framework anyway - Vista and 7 both come pre-installed with .NET versions anyway, so there is a good chance that you eventual target machine will have some framework installed to start with.

If you create a "Setup and Deployment" project in your solution, it will automatically install teh relevent framework for you.

And before the purists chime in with "yes you can, buy such and such a product" I know that you can get products such as Spoon Studio, but generally, they are a waste of time and money...
