Is it possible to do a .NET Core DLL containing .NET Core Framework?

Is it possible to create a .NET Core DLL which contains the other .NET Core Framework DLLs in order to be run without installing the .NET Core?

Thanks a lot

.NET Core 3 supports single-file executables that contain all framework specific assemblies, resources, content files and other stuff that the app requires to run:

dotnet publish -r win10-x86 -c release /p:PublishSingleFile=true

Self-contained deployments (SCD) are supported in earlier versions.

Yes. What you are looking for is called Self-contained deployment and is possible with .NET Core, but not .NET Framework.
