Hi

I am new to .NET and this may be a stupid question.

Using VS2003 and VB.net I have created a small application in a single project containing windows forms, user defined components and classes. The .exe is created in the bin folder.

On my machine the application runs both in the DE and directly from the .exe.

If I copy the .exe to a different machine it will not run and gives an error that it cannot initialise the executable.

What am I missing.

Thanks in advance

Daz

Hi Darren,

Did you install the .NET Framework on the target system as well?? The .NET Framework is a requirement for .NET apps to run...

Cheers,

Imar

Yes, I downloaded it from Microsoft although I think its the latest version (2.0) rather than 1.1. Does this matter?

The other thing I was wondering was do I need to create individual ocx files for my created components? If so how do I do it?

Cheers

It depends. You should be able to run 1.1 apps on 2.0.

You can try to download and install the 1.1. version and see if that makes a difference. Search Google for "side by side" .NET framework to get more info about running multiple versions of .NET

Don't know what components and / or ocx files you are referring to so I can't help much with that.
Cheers,
