Do you have Admin permissions on your Dads system? Is it running any kind of antivirus program or other protection program? What OS is he running? Which version of .NET are you running?

vb .net 7.1.388

windows xp at home

windows xp on my dads pc

.net framework 1.1.4322

and he has the default ms fire wall and virus sotware on there ... its these programmes that keep blocking mine :(

hope this helps pin pointing the problem

and i should have admin permissions on his pc ... its just a standard desktop pc with xp

anyone ?

Just thinking?
I've got a question for you, because your application runs well on your PC!
( your files still exist on your PC: c:\ documents and settings.....blablabla )
I think you didn't included you files into your applicationsetup and that's, I think, the reason why the Files been blocked on your dad's PC.

Trying to help and learning in the mean time!

Could you give us the exact error message or, maybe a screenshot?

Could you try turning off the AV and lowering the firewall just for a test install?

I had this problem with my first "deployment" as well, but it was related to permissions. Seems like since i developed it on my computer, it had all the permissions it needed there by default. So, on at least one of the other PC's i had to go to control panel, administrative tools, microsoft.net framework ....wizards and gave the executable all the possible rights it could need. Subsequently, when i "built" the application and took the MSI file and setup/install files to other machines, and installed it, this wasn't a problem - but I'm not sure why. Could be that the pc tech that imaged the machines for me copied that adjustment as well.

If he imaged the system after you adjusted the framework permissions then it would have been set already for the others. ;)

thanks dudes ... will ask my dad what the exact error it is hes getting and get back to you ;)

i could post the installer ... anybody willing to give it a look and ill pm you a link

wrong version of the framework on his pc .... have tested it on a 98 machine and works sweeet ... many thanks
