I am currently attending my second training class on programming with VB.NET. It has been stressed time and time again that:
Any machine that will be running a program created in VB.NET must have the same version Windows.NET framework as the machine that was used to create the program. If the program will be run from a server, the server must have the same version framework as the machine the application was created on.

Hope this helps!

There is always installshield. But on a side note, the first reply is pretty much true. If you develop in framework 1.0, you must use the redistributable for 1.0 or the user must already have this installed. Likewise if you develop in 1.1(what vs.net 2k3 uses)the user will need 1.1 installed or you must install it from the redistributable. Now, windows 2k3 server comes with 1.1 installed, and in almost all cases you can run asseblies built on the 1.0 on the 1.1 framework. Hope this helps alittle.
