[Mono-list] Running EXE's without "Mono" preamble

[Alexandre Miguel Pedro Gomes]

Then you can see that your machine's kernel has binfmt loaded, since
modprobe told you there was no such modules, the binfmt support is buildin
in the kernel.

>From my experience, I build my own kernels, but I keep binfmt enabled and my
distro kernel also comes with binfmt enabled by default, I only need to do:
echo ':CLR:M::MZ::/usr/bin/mono:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

If you make sure your .exe files as execute permission (either using
nautilus properties for that file or by doing chmod +x my.exe) you should be
able to run those .Net exe files without the need to call mono my.exe

If you are developing software and/or deplying it, having the user to
configure binfmt is not a good option. The better is to create a simple
script, for instance called myapp and inside that script you simply call
mono myapp.exe
