Re: Set up project fails

Hi Phil,
when I run the exe on a laptop I will get this error:
"The program [c:\documents and settings\accountname\desktop\myapp.exe]
caused a problem and is going to close. would you like to save a dump
file?" [yes][no]

after clicking on yes,
dump file saved as 'some path'

Could it be that, all the referenced dlls within the program dont exist
on the lattop that im trying to isntall it on? bceause there is only
one dll file being copied into the bin directory in my project folder.
and no other ones. for example im using vbide, microsoft.interop.exel
and so on. but they dont get copied.
pitty that i cannot attach the dump file here. its kinda big and to my
knowledge it doesnt give away much...
thanks

An exact message would help. Are you sure the 1.1 framework is installed on
those other systems? Do you have any custom actions in your setup?

Hi,
1. I made a project on c# and made a set up project for it.
2. I made this project on vs2003 with .net 1.1
I can install this msi file on machines with vs2003 installed in them.
But I cant seem to get them working or installed on laptops or non
development machines. The error message I get when I try and copy the
exe file and the only dll file over to another machine is common run
time language errors. I get them when I try and start the exe file.
Any suggestions...?
Cheers!
