This is going to sound like a stupid question and i feel a little stupid for asking it. But here goes.

I have a request for a program that will directly follow an unattended xp install, it will look at the computer name and find a corresponding entry in an xml document (or a just plain text file) and then send out an email based on that info. At any rate i developed a solution in vb.net 2.0 only to find out that the 2.0 framework wouldn't be included in the install. Up until now i've used either .net or vb6 to develop an application. Not counting my college c++ days. So i'm kind of at loss for how to handle this.

I'm about to go back and rewrite this app in vb6 but besides that, how would you guys go about solving this problem? Vb6 will work but its old and clunky . I guess what i'm really after is trying to see if there is a hole in my skill set and if so what to fill it with.
