I also believed that if a computer had any .NET framework, my
code would run on it as it would be backward compatable. Boy
am I naive. I sent someone an .exe who has .NET framework
1.1 and it wouldn't launch, saying "v2.0.5072" was required.

You would be better off ditching Micro$oft altogether. They love doing this kind of stuff to people. Just ditch them and ditch Vb.Net and go somewhere else for your programming tools.
