Deploying my application on Vista Home Basic

Hi,

I have a problem. If i install my vb 2008 application on win2k, winxp, vista home premium it works fine, but if i install it on vista home basic it installs but when it runs it says the application has stopped working and gives me no other information. If i put breaks in the application and reinstall it to see what stage the application gets to before it crashes it crashes before it even reads in form load so it can't be a code issue. I've seen another guys post who had a similar problem and his was a com issue i've tried looking for a way to 'isolate' each reference but there are no options in vs 2008 to do it that i can find.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

How are you putting breaks in the application? Try putting some messageboxes in the application startup event handler and throughout the form_load of the main form (one before InitializeComponent) and see if that is enlightening.

Sorry by breaks i meant message boxes, because i'm installing it on a machine that doesn't have vb on it. However it doesn't even get to the breaks it crashes before any form_load code is read. Thats why i think it may be a com or reference issue.

Have you put in a handler for the unhandled exceptions in to the application events? I would do that, and add a messagebox of the exception.ToString() that results. This should work unless it's dying in a background thread.

If you don't know where to do that, post back and I'll post it .
