You don't need to install the framework, since most up-to-date Windows-based machines should already have it. I would suggest, however, using an older version (2.0 sounds good), since not everyone will have the latest. Besides, 3.0 and 3.5 are limited to XP and higher boxes, which may cut out a significant portion of your market (depending, of course, on what your target market is).

If you're talking about your development tools, some of these you can slap on a flash drive, but don't expect to be able to put Visual Studio on one (it installs a certain amount of stuff on the system drive, regardless of where you tell it to put the main installation). You can use third-party tools (IDEs, etc), and I'm sure you can also use the command-line compiler tools.

There aren't a lot of development tools here, but this site might have some things to make your life easier.
