As an independent software developer not affiliated with Novell, I
would advise against bundling at all.  You would be using disk space
on your target machine for something that can be shared between
applications anyway.  If you are deploying to a Windows machine then
the Microsoft .NET runtime should be easily installable, and if you
are deploying to Linux then many distributions already have Mono
packages.  Simply instruct your users to install them.

Thankyou for replay.
In my case, the application have to portable (pendrive)
and the user mostly do not have the admin right
and the application very small (about 5mb only)
if i ship with the .Net Framework installer thats was to huge compare to my application (150mb+)
even webinstaller also required to download about 50mb, I guess most users are not willing to do this, they can just giveup my application and use the other similar.
