I've created a vb program and I want to be able to use it on multiple
systems. When I copy it over I first got missing mscoree.dll, which I fixed
by finding and copying the dll over, however now it wants a registry setting
for where .net is installed. I looked on Microsoft, and it says to run
program made in .net, .net must be installed. That sounds dumb to me....
Can anyone help?

It is not dumb. You have to install the .NET Framework because the .NET
Framework contains the class libraries that your application needs. It also
contains the CLR (common language runtime) needed for the "managed"
execution of your application. For details see also:

The VB.NET resource kit also contains introductions to the .NET world (and
much more):

You will have to install the .NET Framework. You will find info on how to
deploy the framework here:

The framework privides the infrastructure for the execution of .NET
applications.

Ah, I fondly remember the days when one just copied the program.exe file to
another computer and it would always run.
