You cannot. Applications created using VB.NET depend on the .NET Framework.

Laserson,

A microsoft Net program uses at least an Microsoft OS later starting at W98
or NT4 with SP6 and a Net framework from the right version or later
installed.

You can as well use Linux with a Net framework for that and a program
special for that OS/Framework.

I hope this helps,

Cor

But when should i use "Copy Local" option and why?

You can use "Local Copy" if the library you are referencing is likely to be
not on the target machines. These libraries can be included with a setup
package if they are redistributable.

Ok...For example my friend doesn't have .NET Framework. I copied all
referenced libraries (System.dll, System.Data.dl, etc) by selecting "Copy
Local" option. If my friend's target machine doesn't have referenced
libraries, but they are in the same folder with my application it should
start...But it doesn't!! There is an error with code: 0x0000135

Cor, from your comment it means that there is a net framework for Linux...any
idea where to get this?

As said previously, the full .NET Framework needs to be installed on the
target machine. .NET applications require the CLR (Common Language Runtime)
for execution, which is also part of the .NET Framework.

Dennis,

I only know the pages. Tom Shelton is/was very active with it.

I hope this is what you need.

In addition to the other answers, this might help:

You'll see that the Framework supplies basics that are necessary for every
application.
