Do you know where does these data come from, or are you making an
assumption? That's because we are doing our game in C#, and this is a major
concern of us. We are considering using a tool like Xenocode to bundle the
.NET DLLs into the .EXE file, in a way that the installation of .NET itself
is not necessary. Seems to us that Mystery Case Files games are developed in
this way, but I'm just speculating.
