I know nada of NET but I've been under the impression that better than 50% of the NET users are using the free NET Express edition. I know that Express can't make an .exe, so it would seem unlikely that it could make a .Net Frame work Setup Package. Can it?
I don't have any knowledge about Vb.Net

But, when I bought some games like Spiderman:Web Of Shadows, etc. they had included the .Net Framework redistributable setup file with the installer....
I was talking about that...
