Can Windows PE 2.0 support the .Net framework?

Question

I'm interested in building a PC for a car that will boot off of a USB Flash Drive. I'm planning on using Windows PE 2.0 for it with the GUI being written in c# or vb.net.

Obviously, for this to work, I'd need to have .Net 2.0 or later installed. Understanding that .Net is not included by default, is there a way to package .Net 2.0 with Windows PE 2.0 in such a way as to allow my gui app to work?

Answer 1

Windows PE does not support the Microsoft .NET Framework or the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Answer 2

Not sure if this will help you, but here's a .NET 2.0 plug-in which requires "PE Builder 3.x or Microsoft Windows PE 2004 or 2005".
