I hope I can find the answer to this question as I don't have a server that I can test on.

Can applications developed in VB .NET 2008 run on Windows Server 2000?

Do I need to in stall .NET 3.5 first? Will that install on WS2000?
 
.Net Framework 3.5 does not support Windows 2000, but you can configure a project in VB 2008 to target .Net Framework 2.0, which can run on Win2000 SP3.
 
That is really good news to me. I was dreading having to go back and have to rewrite this.

Its not that complicated of a program so I think it should work with the 2.0 framework.

I was going to ask how to do this but I just found it in the Advanced Compiler Settings.

Thanks for the info.
