What you're saying does not make sense. You want ``myapp.exe`` to not
depend on mono, but you installed gtk# on the target machine? That's
going to pull in mono as a dependency which is going to lead to issues
if your ``myapp.exe`` depends on some dlls that aren't embedded
executable. It sounds like the dlls you have on the target machine
were built for a different version of mono hence the corlib version
mismatch errors.

You need to find a way of bundling all the dlls on the host machine
(e.g. gtk#) into your ``myapp.exe``. This isn't guaranteed to work
though if that dlls depends on a certain versions of a native library
(e.g. gtk).
