I'm relatively new to VB - while I've been using VBA for a while and have touched on VB before I'm basically self-taught.

In any case, I want to create something which is basically some Windows Forms. This is to be distributed on a CD.

At the moment I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. This is all fine and dandy apart from installing the .net elements. I don't want any installations - I just want something that will run without any fuss.

When I briefly used VB a few years back I used a version which did this (basically did a few brief projects). Unfortunately I can't remember which version I used. Probably VB6.

Can anyone point me in the right direction and, hopefully, let me know of a free version I can use?
