making .NET 2.0 portable for private use only

[dfTruF]

Greetings.

I'm in such situation that I (and only me) want to play portable game (only on my private computer). The game uses .net 2.0 framework, but I don't want to have installed .net 2.0 framework in the system.
Is it possible to manually copy all files from installed .net 2.0, then uninstall it from the system and use those previously copied files somehow for launching the game?
I don't think that it is illegal, because I do this only for private, non-commercial use, on my private home computer.

Unfortunately previous research on the topic has shown this not to be possible. Some of the recent events surrounding dotNET may change this in the near future but .NET hasn't traditionally wanted to run on non-Windows computers unlike Java (or for our purposes jPortable).

I don't think that it is illegal, because I do this only for private, non-commercial use, on my private home computer.

Unfortunately, it probably is against their terms of service. Again, hopefully recent events (including more permissive licensing efforts) by Microsoft may enable this.

It is possible using virtualization software....if you can afford the virtualization software.

v2.0 is so old, that I have no clue why anyone would develop an application specific to that version of the .NET Framework. v3.0 is where all the goodness can be found, mmm yummy syntactic sugar!
