I have an windows form app that I have created that runs fine on my Vista sp2 platform but fails to run on an XP sp2 machine with an application config error. Any help please

Hi,

Can you please provide more information about the error, like the error message at least (and maybe a stack trace etc. too) ?

Thanks for replying The error just reads "application configuration error reinstalling might solve the problem" I'm affaid a stack trace is beyond me at this time I'm really a novice. Thanks

Hi,

 

Have .Net FrameWork installed in XP computer?

If you run C++ application, you need to install vcredist_x86.exe.
