Do I need ArcGIS Runtime to run a published .NET app on another Windows 11 PC?

Hi, I have a question about application deployment.

If I build an app on a Windows 11 PC using the dotnet publish command,
can I run it on another Windows 11 PC without installing ArcGIS Runtime?

My app is a command-line tool that only reads and edits shapefiles.

The required libraries will be deployed with the publish command.
The only other pre-requisite you need is the VCLibs, which most likely is already on your system. See https://developers.arcgis.com/net/license-and-deployment/deployment/#define-arcgis-components-to-dep...for more details.
