I'd use Inno Setup Installer, it's free and very powerful. Check out its website for more information on how to distribute VB runtimes. Anyways, I agree with Choli about this:

Put a link to the microsoft site and that would be ok: your package will be small and users that already have the vb files won't need to get / install them again.
