You cannot make a VB application bootable, and even if you could, a MSDOS CD would not help in the slightest.
VB depends on the .NET Framework, which in turn depends on the operating system - i.e. Windows - to provide "lower level" support for you actual devices.

Why would you think that you could do that? About the closest you could get is Kiosk mode: What is kiosk mode (Windows assigned access)? - Definition from WhatIs.com[^]

If you can live with the limitations (no GUI or Forms), you could create a Windows Service and set the startup type to automatic.
See: Tutorial: Create a Windows service app | Microsoft Docs[^]
Windows Services can be dangerous for beginners, so it is best to write a Console application first, test that thoroughly and then use the tested code for a service.
