Yes it is requred. The user computer must have installed .NET Framework redistributable package. You can search and download it - it's free. Just look for download for the file dotnetfx.exe. It's about 24MB. You can then include this instalation in your Setup package, so the user can install it first.

If the user computer have the prerequisites from another installation, as of Visual Studio .NET for instance, installing the above mentioned package is not necessery.

If you want to run web application on the client, then it is not necessary to install the .net framework.
--seems obviously.
