Replying my own issue:
Referencing system.management DLL made VB 2005 recognize.
So Jerry, if you've done your program with referencing and using
correct library (and seems you did) and if the target framework is
installed and running on target machine, there shouldn't be any
difficulty for your program.
Also, if you still want to check a file's(assembly or library)
existence, use "System.IO.File.Exists" function in your form_load
event to notify user.
