Re: Error Trapping for trying to run an exe file without supporting files

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Paul,

Well, the easiest way to do this is to check for the file presense
before running any real code.

I use to check for the files I need first, and when I don't find them I
ask the user where they are and store it on my application settings
(INI File, Registry, whatever) so the next time I know where to look
when I need them.

But if the files you need are somewhat a must have (such as Assemblies,
and other supporting file) then instead of asking the user where the
files are you just show the user an error message and exit the
application gracefully.

I hope it helps,
