You will need to have the .net framework installed on the clients pc. What this says is that since .Net has been preinstalled on Windows since XP SP1, you should target your application to the runtime that is available on the system you wish to install it on. And since you are targeting WPF you will need to make sure that you have available .net 3.5 or greater. You may want to look into the Client installation of the framework since it is smaller. And you may want to look at this Stackoverflow question

 i.e. from above link

      Windows  .Net Framework

      Win 7 SP1         4
      win 7             3.5.1 ( can be updated to .Net Framework 4 through windows updates )
      windows vista     3.0   ( can be updated to .Net Framework 4 through windows updates )
      windows XP Sp 1   2.0

You must have .net installed to use a wpf application. You can use clickonce to make the install experience more friendly to the user, if he doesn't the right version of the .net framework installed.

As for the external third party library, see my answer here for the same issue.
