Hi all, I am a new member. First post. Semi noob to VB as well.

Do ALL VB programs require end users to install .net Framework in order for program to run?

I created a simple program with VB 2005 Express. I emailed my friend that program, but he can't execute the exe file. It says .NET 2.0 required.

Is there anyway around this? Anyway to make my program NOT require .net 2.0, or have some files included into the program folder?

thanks.
