[ayyazm64]

Hi,
I am trying to install my vb.net application on the other system.I have installed the whole vs on this system too but still getting the error
"Application failed to initialize properly".I have .net2.0.
This appl can be installed on the system where it is developed.
so please guide me through.
Regards!

What VS version are you using to develop? What VS version is installed on the computer that is not working? What framework version is targeted for the application?

And how are you deploying it? Are there any dependencies?

Hi,
"Application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b)"
I have developed the appl in VS2005, net2.0 and have installed the same vs2005 0n the same OS(XP pro sp2).
I added a new project under 'setup & deployment' as 'setup project' and added dotframe,crystal report,mdac28.
there are no dependencies other than crytal reports.
why i installed the whole VS2005 on the other system?
when i try to install my appl through setup.exe,it try to install 'dotnetfx.exe' file version 2.0 first and gives error.I try to install mdac28(mdac_typ.exe,version 28.1) manually but gives error as
"this setup does not support installing on this OS" even though the OS is same.
