Make sure the classes and methods you are using are supported on these
operating systems. You can check which operating systems are required for a
certain member in its documentation. Note that the .NET Framework must be
installed on the machine in order to be able to run the application.
 
Yes, i forgot to mention that is it posible to make an exe file that
can work on a computer without the .NET framework?

Not if you are writing a dotnet application. If you write a c++
application you can.

Can i then somhow convert my application to c++ so that i can make an
exe that works everywhere?
 
I doubt there are any vb.net to c++ convertors on the market, though i may
be wrong.

But to convert a vb.net application using the .net framework to a C++
application that uses the "normal" win32 libraries is a little more than
just converting the code. All the .net framework calls need replacing! I
would guess this would be a full ground up application re-write.

It's probably easier to load the framework!
