i've had the problem before...fixed it by including the dotnetfx.exe to get
around it. i'm also using vs.net 2003 and the major/minor version is
something like 1.103...not sure but it is sufficiently different to cause a
problem. dotnetfx.exe is on the ms website w/ instructions on how to use it
to install whatever version you are developing in. works just fine.

Dear Steve;
I already have the dotnetfx.exe downloaded and installed in my client
machines. Version 1.1.4322.573.
I'm not sure what to do next to fix the problem! Can you please be more
specific?
Thanks
Bill

you're saying you followed the instructions for deploying your application
using dotnetfx.exe and you are having the problems...or, that you downloaded
dotnetfx.exe to a client pc and ran it? if the answer is the former, then i
can't be any more specific than those instructions and can't be of much help
to you in resolving the problem otherwise.

Bill,

Did you build a setup project from Visual Studio and then deploy the client
on your Win2k machine? Please make sure you do this. Just installing .NET
Framework runtime does not include all files needed. If your application
used some controls, you will need to build setup and then install the
client. Let me know if this works.

This is what I did:

1. Developed the VB.NET application on an XP machine using VS.NET 2003
Architect version
2. Built a setup project whole "Project Output" includes Primary Output,
Content Files, and Localized Resources.
3. Ran the setup to install the .NET app on client machines with .NET
frameowrk installed.

The setup worked fine on the development machine and ANY XP machine that has
VS.NET 2003 installed (I got another one at work and 1 at home).
On machines without VS.NEt installed, teh installation went well but I got
error message trying to run the application from both local hard drive and a
shared folder.
Hope that this clarifies the issue.
Thanks

I only downloaded dotnetfx.exe and ran it to install .NET framework on the
client machines. I did this several times and still having problem running
my VB.NET app on client machines. I never used dotnetfx to deploy a .NET
application. I couldn't find the instructions anywhere.
Please refer to my answer to Vijay regarding application deloyment.
Thanks

Steve;
I tried this, and still not working. For testing purposes, I created a "Helo
world" VB.NET app with the deployment package, and it worked fine.
My existing app uses some COM components and accesses couple external hosts
via ODBC drivers. I guess that there are files/libraries that must be
installed on the client machine. The problem is that I don't know which
components that are needed to include in the deployment package.

Any idea?
Thanks again.

Bill,

Is your setup project in a separate solution? Try building a the setup in
the same solution as your application, the dependency refresh for related
files are better.
