I want to get everything into one setup file that I can install on a friend's computer to play my game that doesn't have VB express installed on it.

All you would need on your friends computer to get your application running are:
1. .NET framework (same or higher version than yours)
2. Your application EXE
3. Any custom dlls etc. you might be using for your applicaiton (usually located in bin directory)
