You need a copy of Professional VB.NET by Barnell, et al, published by Wronx
.
The entire chapter 24 is dedicated to deployment.  Essentially you can test
for .NET framework and launch the .net installer if you need it.  See
especially p. 820 ff.

You probably side stepped inclusion of "Detected Dependencies" somehow.

This can be done; I have successfully done it.
