Executable File

Hi all,

i know this might be a bit too simple basic stuff for most of you, but i am so stuck with it.


i am developing a part of program, i am trying hard to do executable file, i checked in the folder where all programs are stored , i found one file .exe

i tried to run this file on different PCs, it works on two or three out of ten, fortunately it didnt' work on my boss computer, he was no happy at all....

i checked if i do have the framework 1.1, which i do....

please help,,,,

thank you very much


good Afternoon

What do you mean it doesn't work ? Does it throw a specific error ?

well it gives the following error back :


THE APPLICATION FAILED TO INITIALISE PROPERLY (0XC0000135),
CLICK OK TO TERMINATE THE PROGRAM


god knows what is that on about.....

pls help

Is Framework installed on your boss's machine ?

Thanks Pirate for your swift replys,

neither VB .net or FrameWork are installed on his terminal,


is not meant, for executable file to work on every terminal after that

thank you

To fix this :
You must have the framework (depends on the Framework you're targeting 1.0 or 1.1 ) installed on the machine you'll run the exe on . It's a must for any .NET application to run .

i will try this option on a mate's pc,

thank you very much

Next time , don't mess with your boss's machine unless you're %101 sure it's working :eek: .............:D :)

Your boss's machine need the framework (can get it from Windows Update or it's included as dotnetfx.exe on the CD that VS.Net came on. You have to install it separately though.
He'll also need MDAC 2.7 or above, which can also be gotten from Microsoft.
Your development machine will have that by default from the VS.Net installation.
