The VB PowerPacks are not part of the .NET Framework proper. As such, if your app uses them, you have to provide them separately. You would do this in one of two ways, depending on how you're deploying your app:

1. If you're using ClickOnce publishing or Windows Installer via a Setup project to deploy your app, open the Prerequisites dialogue from the appropriate place and check the box next to the VB PowerPacks redistributable. When the user runs your installer, the VB PowerPacks will be installed to the GAC if and only if they are not already installed, just as the Framework is.

2. If you're using XCOPY deployment, i.e. simply copying your EXE and its dependencies to the target machine, you need to copy the VB PowerPacks library as one of those dependencies. First, open the References page of the project properties and set the Copy Local property of the VB PowerPacks reference to True. When you build, the VB PowerPacks DLL will be copied to the output folder along with your EXE, ready for deployment.
