In that case you need Delphi... (which is Pascal based and therefore
also has a decent underlying language).

It is for a VB app - the only way you can /guarantee/ a VB app will
work is to ship the VB run time and all supporting controls etc with a
suitable installation program. 

Even more sadly the setup tools that come with VB do not always succeed
in producing one (we write VB for a living and we don't use them).

So... you may as well go with Python again (-:
