Well you are not going to be installing VB.NET on anything so your setup will probably work. But your application probably will not work at all without the right version of the .NET framework installed. And the SQL Server will have to be installed if you are using a SQL Server database.

On a Client machine the only thing needed to run .NET applications is the .NET framework. There are different versions thereof, so be sure to check which version was used to develop the application.
So you do not need to install the development environment.

Now if you use SQL server, and you connect to a remote machine, you will have to modify the connection string in the config file of the application to identify that server. The server has to be configured for IP access of course.
If you want local access then you need to install sql server on the target machine as well.
