I wrote a VB.NET app and plan to compile it into a .EXE file next week and then deploy it.

My question is every user who wants to use it needs the .NET framework on their PC. But which one? I found 261 downloads for the .NET framework on Microsoft.com.

I am thinking about having the users download and install .NET framework themselves using their own PCs first. I am leaning toward version
.NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta (x86).

Some say (x86) others say (IA64) some say (x64). Which one do I need?
x86?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate you!
