I know this is not really a development problem but why do you have
to install the .net framework to run a vb.net program?

Because even the type Integer is defined in the Framework.
Or because the Framework does the just-in-time compilation (JIT).
Or because the Framework is responsible for memory management including
garbage collection.

This doesn't answer the follow-up question why the .NET Framework isn't part of each version of Windows ;-).
