CanDo sounds more interesting, from what you've told me so far. I had thought it was more like a HyperCard – a reasonably strong language, support for buttons, etc. VB can create an EXE which you can distribute freely, although it does require a run-time DLL. I'm not sure if it is strictly an .EXE or interpreted p-codes or what. I'd bet it's a bit of both, more like a threaded interpreter. One nice feature is that they provide glue in the language to call any Windows function, so what the language can't do directly, you can hack indirectly, if you care to learn Windows.
