I have installed a variety of mono packages from the repo (as shown

FC/RH family of RPM’s don’t offer this.
Would anyone know how to get vbc.exe into a AlmaLinux 9 system? I’m
hoping NOT to recompile the entire mono project just to get that one
executable.
I'm presuming the mono packages you installed came from EPEL, and not
AlmaLinux?
Looks like Mono has had its day; the availability of .NET 6 and up seems
to have mostly killed it:

If you absolutely positively must use Mono (and must have vbc.exe rather
than the deprecated vbnc.exe) looks like you'll need to build it yourself.
Are you able to migrate your Mono project to .NET? It's available
directly in AlmaLinux appstream (additional packages in the powertools
repo).
