• Windows Forms App crashes when run from default install location

  Hi folks, A new user of my application had a problem in that the app never started. It installed fine, but crashed as soon as it ran. I tried all sorts of things to diagnose the problem, and finally out of sheer desperation I asked him to try copying the exe, the exe.config, and a few support files it uses to a new folder (under My Documents, for example) and try running it there.

Is it my perception or is event handling in VB a lot more basic I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of a ...Show All
