redistributable

Hi there,

Is there a specific version of .Net that I can target that is bundled with all versions of Windows of XP SP2 and higher?

We are trying to create a simple setup stub without having to resort to a low-level C/C++ app... currently something is cooked up in VB6, but there's a fair amount of low-level network code that I would much rather rewrite in .Net -- which would be trivial if only we could rely on the presence of a given version.
