Why would you need Visual Basic? The compiler always come with .NET Framework (redistributable), but I bet your code doesn't use it.

Please see my comment to the question. I bet your application, even if it is written in VB.NET, is not using VB.NET. Rather, I would suspect you don't understand the role of compiler, build, .NET, OS, libraries… In all cases, there is no a situation where you might need or want to install VB.NET — is comes as a part of (freely redistributable) .NET framework.

Installation of Oracle with your product is possible (address to the original Oracle documentation), but probably the best way is just to claim it as a prerequisite to your product. Oracle is a commercial product, so you would need a complicated licensing schema. At the same time, part of your customers will have their own licenses and would want to use them.
