I compiled a project I made in visual studio 2008, but for some reason it only works on the computer it was created on, on any other computer I just get the "... has encountered and error and needs to be closed..." error message.
At first I thought it was cause I didn't install frameworks 3.5 on the other computer, but installing it solved nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

do you use any external dll as reference in your project? if so you need to ship them out with your applcation.
i.E you set a reference to ftp.dll then you need to hand out the interop.ftp.dll which is located in your Release folder.

No dll used, just a database which is in the rar along with the exe.
I even tried downloading the rar, extracting and using, still it works on the original pc and nowhere else.

ok can you please paste the first 5 lines from the error in here?
when the error occurs click on detail and copy the 5 lines. this might tell us whats going on

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : coder.exe P2 : 1.0.0.0 P3 : 4a967734
P4 : coder P5 : 1.0.0.0 P6 : 4a967734 P7 : d P8 : c6
P9 : system.invalidoperationexception

Thanks for trying to help

uhm that looks more like an error report to microsoft instead of the error i meant :o

you might attach your compiled exe (zipped) and i can check

ps. if its an trojan im gonna rip your head :p

A trojan with a database? =)
hope it was attached (change the extension to rar, it wouldn't allow me to upload it otherwise)

alright you are using Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks
pc's of "normal users" dont have that. so please read this article to solve that problem http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...02(VS.80).aspx

Thank you very much for all your help.

if everything is working please mark this thread as solved. ty =)
